In Frombork canons bury one of the greatest world astronomers, the author of the work of genius De revolutionibus under the Cathedral tiled floor. Nobody bothered to mark the burial site. For centuries, Copernicus' grave was looked for in vain.

Polish scientists announce to the world sensational news: we have most likely found the grave of Nicolas Copernicus. The investigators were faced with the task of approving the discovery using DNA tests. The next three years were devoted to solving the secret of Copernicus’ code. Our camera was the only one which was allowed to document the research procedures from finding the skull to the last unprecedented discovery of two Copernicus' hairs in the book from astronomers private library. Picking up the hair from the book which you could see in our movie is breathtaking. The materials in our film are not stage set.
