An essay about a gradual (since childhood) discovery of the atmosphere of Galicia, the oeuvre of Bruno Schulz, and, subsequently, Drohobycz / Drohobych while participating in successive editions of the festival and “Second Autumn” meetings commemorating Schulz (the name of the event comes from his prose) as well as simply wandering around Drohobych with a camera in the company of filmmakers – the brothers Quay. Or in the course of encounters with Alfred Schreyer, Schulz’ pupil and guardian of the memory of pre-war Drohobycz, ”an aristocrat of the spirit”, a person of extraordinary personal culture, speaking beautiful Polish. Finally, while making (together with Marcin Giżycki) Alfred Schreyer from Drohobycz, a film about this unusual protagonist.
