Sinopsis
In July 2007, a Polish judge’s wallet was stolen. Two months later, the police stopped Claudiu Crulic, a 33-year-old Romanian who later died in a Polish prison while on hunger strike in protest at an unfair trial. Crulic – drumul spre dincolo uses watercolour, collage and stop-motion animation techniques to tell his Kafkaesque story.
