Sings of Mr. Plum

Karol Śliwka was one of those artists who shaped the visual memory of Poles in the second half of the 20th century – not through exhibitions in galleries, but through signs that millions of people passed by every day.

The film "Znaki Pana Śliwki" (Sings of Mr. Plum) is a portrait of an artist who, with extraordinary modesty and sensitivity, built the aesthetics of everyday life, creating symbols of institutions, brands, and places engraved in the collective consciousness.

Morga and Mikołajczyk's documentary is a journey through official and private archives, which form a story about creativity, generational change, and Poland as it was disappearing with the transformation.

The film, which won the Audience Award at the 41st Warsaw Film Festival, is also a moving tribute to applied art and to a man who was able to combine everyday life with beauty.
