Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

A gifted young student plans to study theology at university, but his true passion is astronomy. One day, he meets a mysterious scholar named Hubert.

Rafał is intrigued by Hubert’s heliocentric theory. Later, Hubert is arrested by an inquisitor but he gives Rafał a pendant before being whisked away.

Nowak convinces Potocki to admit to Rafał's heresy. Once arrested, Rafał is given a choice: recant his belief in heliocentrism or submit to torture.

The duelist Oczy wishes for death so he can escape his hopeless world and go to heaven. His colleague finds meaning in life by observing the stars.

Gras aborts the mission, placing himself and Oczy in mortal danger from Nowak. They both flee for the mountains, where they find a stone chest.

Oczy seeks the help of Badeni, the demoted monk who incurred the Church's wrath by turning his curiosity to the riddles of the sky.
