Mehmed VI
Maximilian Carl Emil "Max" Weber (; 21 April 1864 – 14 June 1920) was a German sociologist and political economist, who profoundly influenced social theory, social research, and the discipline of sociology itself. Weber's major works dealt with the rationalization and "disenchantment" he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity. Weber was, along with his associate Georg Simmel, a central figure in the establishment of methodological antipositivism; presenting sociology as a non-empirical field which must study social action through resolutely subjective means. He is typically cited, with Émile Durkheim and Karl Marx, as one of the three principal architects of modern social science, and has variously been described as the most important classic thinker in the social sciences.

A man named Francis relates a story about his best friend Alan and his fiancée Jane. Alan takes him to a fair where they meet Dr. Caligari, who exhibits a somnambulist, Cesare, that can predict the future. When Alan asks how long he has to live, Cesare says he has until dawn. The prophecy comes to pass, as Alan is murdered, and Cesare is a prime suspect. Cesare creeps into Jane's bedroom and abducts her, running from the townspeople and finally dying of exhaustion. Meanwhile, the police discover a dummy in Cesare's cabinet, while Caligari flees. Francis tracks Caligari to a mental asylum. He is the director! Or is he?

Pierwszy zwiastun filmu "Bitwa Warszawska" "Bitwa warszawska 1920", to nie zapis historycznych faktów, czy rekonstrukcja przełomowego dla odradzającej się po pierwszej wojnie światowej Europy zbrojnego konfliktu. Film Jerzego Hoffmana, jak zapowiada sam reżyser, to czysta fabuła osadzona w realiach dramatycznych wydarzeń, w której główne role obok postaci historycznych, tworzą fikcyjni bohaterowie. W tym przypadku są nimi Janek - młody poeta, ułan i Ola - gwiazda kabaretu, która w końcu też stanie z bronią w ręku w obronie kraju. W tych rolach zobaczymy, kolejno: Borysa Szyca i debiutującą na dużym ekranie gwiazdę warszawskiego Teatru Buffo, Nataszę Urbańską .
