The movie is based on a life of an Polish astronomer Adam Giedrys who lived and worked in Szczecinek. Actually in reality he was a tailor however decided to pursue his dream and became an astronomer in reality his legacy wasn't as that bitter as it was shown in the movie and he was even recognized by Nasa he got a piece of the moon rock from the Apollo mission. His house where he lived houses an unique in the entire world astronomical observatory builded with the help of the towns authorities ! there's no doubt that his work was interrupted when the sputnik made his debiut but after that he was allowed to resume his activities and even host 'astronomical talks' in truth Szczecinek is the most unique place in earth ! and not even similar to other places in Poland so there are other extraordinary stories as well !
