Big Animal was meant to be the feature debut of excellent director Krzysztof Kieślowski. However, during the communist era in Poland, there was no permission for such a film. The script found after Kieślowski’s death was developed by Jerzy Stuhr, who directed and played the main role in “Big Animal”. The result is a poetic, metaphorical film that deals with the issue of tolerance, otherness and even love for one’s neighbour. The hero, a bank clerk, together with his wife, a kindergarten teacher, take care of an abandoned camel. They are raising the opposition of the whole town and alone they are facing increasingly bizarre accusations against the animal.
