Copernicus Star (Gwiazda Kopernika)

Nicolaus Copernicus, the son of a merchant from Torun, was a curious and bright 10-year-old boy when Dutch astrologer Paul van de Volder encouraged him to pursue his interest in stars. Van de Volder, who was considered a charlatan astrologer, appeared in Copernicus' life later on while Copernicus was studying at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. A fight for Copernicus’ soul emerges between university employees and Van de Volder, and as a result Copernicus begins questioning what he has learned, which ultimately leads to brilliant revelations that change the world forever. This animated story about Copernicus’ life also provides an interesting commentary on the academic atmosphere of the time.
