Magnet Man

A true story about the filmmaker's father, a mesmerist, exorcist, and healer who can help everyone but himself. Told from the point of view of his young son (the filmmaker as a boy), who both adores and abhors his father. Marcin Wrona uses a visually energetic collage technique to create what he calls "tragicomic kitsch," one with a fantastical sense of Monty Python about it, like a missing Terry Gilliam project.
