Synopsis:
Peter Kukac Nadapati Is Going to Heaven is a poetic film drama inspired by the life of Hungarian painter Péter Nagyapáti Sr. (1908–1944). Born into poverty and marked by his nickname “Kukac” (“worm”), the artist’s life becomes an allegory of the human soul’s struggle for inner freedom. The film transcends biography, exploring his self-destructive genius, spiritual restlessness, and quest for light — a timeless reflection on man’s trembling before truth and transcendence.

Sinopsis:
Uznesenje Kukac Petra je poetska filmska drama inspirisana životom mađarskog slikara Pétera Nagyapátija Starijeg (1908–1944). Rođen u siromaštvu i obeležen nadimkom „Kukac“ („crv“), život umetnika postaje alegorija borbe ljudske duše za unutrašnju slobodu. Film prevazilazi granice biografskog pristupa, istražujući njegovu autodestruktivnu genijalnost, duhovni nemir i potragu za svetlošću — bezvremenu refleksiju o čovekovom drhtanju pred istinom i transcendencijom.
