Set at the turn of the century it presents a story of a famous Polish athlete, Zbyszko Cyganiewicz. It begins in a small town where a traveling circus attracts a shy boy into a phony wrestling game to please the crowds. The youth, however, takes his strength seriously, eventually defeating a name wrestler in a fair match. Angered circus manager fires him; he leaves happily due to two wrestler brothers who were harassing him. The wrestler goes on to fame, performing in the world's top arenas, and one day is serenaded by a tenor from the crowd. Fame brings him women and admirers but he is uncompromising on his profession. He has his revenge on one of his tormentors defeating him in the ring. One day, attending a game in a tuxedo, he is challenged by another of the brothers and drawn into a brutal game, in course of which he kills his opponent. Thus his career ends.

Witold Leszczynski用这部黑白影片开启了80年代波兰魔幻写实主义电影的大门。
"Form is much more important than content," the director often said. Indeed each story wrote by Leszczynski was directed with incomparable care. The title that put the director's name on the map of Polish film history was Matthew's Days (1967), an intimate tale adapted from the prose by Norwegian writer Tarjei Vesaas. The feature received several awards, notably the Grand Prix at the Cannes International Youth Film Festival, Grand Prix at Valladolid and Best Film at Colombo.
Born in 1933, Leszczynski graduated from the Lódz Film School. After Matthew's Days he wrote and directed Personal Search (1972) and Recollections (1977). In 1981, he directed Konopielka, a film based on the book by Edward Redlinski, with an unforgettable role for Krzysztof Majchrzak. The film picked up awards at the 1984 Gdynia Polish Film Festival.
Two years later Leszczynski was awarded the Grand Prix at Gdynia for his new piece, Siekierezada, which also won the FIPRESCI and INTERFILM prizes at the 1987 Berlinale. In 1993, Leszczynski directed Kolos followed a year later by Requiem, a film similar in style to Matthew's Days.
