The Quack

Professor Rafał Wilczur – a famous Warsaw surgeon, or a village healer – Antoni Kosiba? Colourful Warsaw of the 1920s interwar period or a poor borderland village? Two worlds. And seemingly two completely different people. The superior one. And the inferior one. But which is which? Does one have to choose?

The Quack is a classic Polish melodrama. First read, then watched on screen in film adaptations, even up till now. Kazimierz Junosza-Stępowski and Jerzy Bińczycki as Wilczur/Kosiba were captivating, moving and memorable. Though their character loses precisely that – memory. Memory that can constitute his greatest asset, but may also become his curse.
