Marek Hlasko – writer, rebel, carouser – was described by the press as the Polish James Dean due to his striking resemblance to the famous actor, and as the Polish Boris Pasternak for the stunning quality of his prose and an experience of forced immigration. Escaping the tumultuous political climate in Poland, he arrives in Israel in the late 1950s. The land and its people become his inspiration, but also a curse and a trap of sorts.
