Like the Rashōmon effect invented by Akira Kurosawa in his 1950 film, An Oral History by Andrzej Żuławski recounts the films, projects, but also the life and personality of this singular Polish filmmaker from multiple points of view. From his debut as an assistant for Andrzej Wajda to Talking about birds directed by his son Xawery, via Possession, The important thing is to love or On the silver globe, discover behind the scenes of a filmography which will have consecrated actresses like Romy Schneider or Isabelle Adjani and shattered all cinematographic conventions. About fifty relatives and collaborators contributed to the development of this work, including his brother Mathieu Żuławski, his cinematographer and lifelong cameraman Andrzej J. Jaroszewicz, the producer Paulo Branco, the director Nicolas Boukhrief, the performers Aurélien Recoing , Pascal Greggory, Valérie Kaprisky, Tchéky Karyo and Sophie Marceau.
