Eo is a donkey who reluctantly goes on a journey through human stupidity. Misunderstood and incredulous, he sees our brutal and mysterious world through his gentle eyes. An immersive, harrowing odyssey. A real aesthetic shock.

Born in 1938, Jerzy Skolimowski is a force of nature who has been an actor, a boxer, a stuntman, a painter and a poet. In 1962, he joined the famous Lodz Film School and made his brilliant directing debut. Censoring in his native country at the time muddied the waters of his unique filmography, but this chameleon continued to experiment. In this tale co-written with his partner Ewa Piaskowska, he embarks on a grand voyage alongside his favorite producer Jeremy Thomas. It relates the adventures of a donkey who, wanting to communicate and be loved, casts an eye over society and, disillusioned, takes us to task. No, the world doesn't revolve around humankind. A fascinating work set to a soundtrack by Pawel Mykietyn. We definitely haven't heard the last of this bad boy.
