A feature-length documentary, made in cooperation with the students of the Silesian University in Opava, portrays Jiří Grygar, one of the most famous Czech scientists: the astrophysicist and, in particular, the popularisator of science. The students not only attended Grygar's public lectures during his long journeys across the Czech Republic, but also gained exclusive access to Argentine Pierre Auger Observatory, where the Czech scientist participates in fascinating cosmic radiation research. In addition to scientific activities, the film focuses on Grygar's life story. Finally, he is asked the most difficult question: How is it possible that as a scientist he believes in God?
