A man gets on the train. Things that he sees cause him to have erotic and cruel associations with the sensuality of women and the industrial slaughter of animals. This train to self-annihilation goes only one way, there is no return.

A One Way Ticket Mr. Z

Mikolaj Kopernik, son of a Torun merchant, is a bright and world-curious child. When he is ten, Dutch astrologer Paul van de Volder predicts a great future for him, developing a great interest in the stars in the boy. Paul van de Volder reappears in Mikolaj's life when he is already a student of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. A struggle for the student's soul begins between the astrologer - a charlatan, and Wojciech from Brudzew and other university professors. Astrology fights astronomy. From the doubts and questions that arise from Mikolaj, a discovery is born that will change the world.
