Inventiveness that intercrosses illusions, which finally brings about insanity...

I've delayed this as far as I could, but it seems this film is not to be found anywhere on the net (yet). Until then. . .

Monochrome is a collection of monographs dealing with inventors in their most critical moments of life. In this volume we meet historical figures, we can look at them closely, their work and its effects. We'll find out who really invented the cinematograph, who was behind the discovery of X-rays, the discovery puzzle solved will the North Pole. In addition, this album reveals a darker side of life in a world revolution and leave us in suspense, whether people are guided by machine, or vice versa.
[This is the story from which Tomek drew his inspiration to create his third animated short film, The Kinematograf.]

Francis, a humble clerk and a self-taught inventor had it all, it seemed:
a big house in a small town, a lot of free time and a loving wife.
His invention is supposed to change the world. He forgot about one thing:
dreams always cost too much. He is focused only on himself and his work
and realizes the gravity of the situation only when it is too late.
