Produced by TVP1 and Darklight Film, “Declaration of Immortality” is a portrait of Piotr “Mad” Korczak – a legend among Polish climbers, who initiated the whole range of various techniques of “conquering” the walls, and was the first to begin to consider climbing as a sport. Now Marcin Koszalka – a film director and one of Piotr’s former followers – asks him inevitable questions about the impact of age: How does he deal with a passage of time? How does he perceive youth and growing old? How he expects his end will look like? Piotr “Mad” Korczak’s insights on the existential nature of physical activity and at the same time on a nature of filmmaking form a pedestal over which spreads a magnificent and breathtaking picture of human ability to climb over the highest tops and to conquer the most difficult mountains.
