The life story of Jan Amos Comenius, who was probably the most famous Czech exile due to his beliefs and opinions. Living most of his life outside his homeland, his unique ideas, recorded in almost 200 books and writings, were fundamentally ahead of his time and influenced the whole world. Comenius' story is told through a scholar's interview with the painter Rembrandt, who drew his portrait. Based on their dialogue, the individual episodes of Comenius' life unfold before us.
