The film attempts to capture the phenomenon of Maciej Parowski – the editor responsible for launching the careers of several generations of Polish science fiction and fantasy writers. He played a key role in the success of Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher. The documentary traces Parowski’s life through several pivotal moments in Poland’s history: from the turmoil of the communist times and the period of systemic transformation to the rise of the internet and the decline of print media. We get to know Maciej as remembered by his family, friends, collaborators, and science fiction experts. This commentary is intertwined with comic book-style sequences in which we follow the protagonist’s animated alter-ego. The eponymous Matt Parey, seemingly less conspicuous than the talent he promoted, continued to shape the Polish science fiction scene through decades.
