Ka.tzetnik lived a life of secrecy, becoming a myth. Rumors suggested that he writes all night, donning his Auschwitz uniform and that he never leaves his house despite his books selling millions. The film explores the writer’s personal odyssey in coping with his trauma through the unconventional path of LSD.
