SYNOPSIS
Following the events of March 1968, communist authorities in Poland banned the publication of works by eminent philosopher and historian of ideas, Leszek Kolakowski and had him dismissed from his position at Warsaw University. He was quickly hired by Oxford University. After 37 years he returned to Warsaw to attend the anniversary celebration of the granting of his doctorate and to visit with old friends and old places.
