Charles Enak, sent into space, refuses to return to Earth. He does not give any reasons for his decision. Meanwhile, the world is plunging into a political crisis - the biggest one since the Cold War. Attempts to automatically bring the ship back to Earth failed, as Enak turned off the on-board equipment. Sensationalist reporters begin to check the biography of the scandal's hero. They find his ex-wife, investigate his past in communist Poland. They soon discover that Charles Enak aka Karol Enakowski has an extraordinary property: he can influence the human subconscious. The slightly mysterious title of Slawomir Idziak's film is a reference to the famous "Citizen Kane" by Orson Welles. "Enak" is just "Kane" read backwards. The construction of the script also resembles Welles' masterpiece. The life of the main character is told in "Enak's" through people who knew him. The strong points of the piece are photos and editing. The plot blends seamlessly with black and white archival materials from Germany and the United States. See less
