Filmmaker Wiktoria Szymanska was given ownership of a very private treasure trove of artistic effects. With these gifts, she has created a deeply personal and whimsical film that retraces the love story of an unusual and unique creative union, bringing a hidden cultural and artistic treasure from the 20th century into the light. Franciszka and Stefan Themerson lived, worked, and made art together for almost sixty years, first in Poland, then France, eventually settling in England.
