Strawman, Figurant, 2023, 113 min. The action is set in the Communist Poland. The film is based on true events and tells unknown story of surveillance operation whose target was Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II. A young officer in charge of the operation invigilated Wojtyła for over 20 years from his consecration as a bishop of Krakow in 1958 until his election as Pope in 1978. The film tells a dark but compelling story of a man tasked with a morally indefensible objective, who succumbs to loneliness and despair.
