Crulic is based on a true story about the Romanian emigrant named Crulic in Poland, who is accused of having robbed a Polish judge. This animated feature-length documentary, which uses mixed animation techniques, enounces the often discriminatory attitude of authorities towards foreign migrants. It gives a voice to a man who died in an inhuman way, without being heard and who was deprived of his most elementary human rights.
