Surprise of Existence

The confrontation of the older and younger versions of the hero, who meets himself from the past. This is an accounting of the decisions of mistakes, a journey through memories. Conversations with the most important people you have met in your life. What shapes us and what do we come back to? What questions would we ask ourselves from the past? Or is it that all our versions wander together through life, hidden within us? A poignant, important and touching story about the fact that the past and the future are inextricably linked, and love and death affect our destiny from beginning to end.

“Hunter's prose, extremely dense with the multiplicity of these and other questions, meanings, symbols, is not easy to translate into the language of the scene. Adamska-Szukała does this with respect for Mysciwski, but with her own perception of reality, nerve and sensitivity. It rejects the epic descriptions of the states of mind of the novel characters, focuses on their words and gestures. Precisely and tangibly, he brings the Hunter's world to the borderline of waking and dreaming, realism and metaphysics.”
