Ryszard Lukaszewicz has come back to teach elementary school after a successful academic career and as author of a pre-school education program. He has established his own school in Kalisz (one of the oldest towns in Poland), which focuses on experimental education. Ryszard believes that if you can create opportunities in an educational situation, the truth can be discovered first hand. He also thinks that it is important for children to understand the connection between the ancient world and today, and together they study artefacts from the city's history to develop his themes. Using excursions, classroom archaeological digs, shadow puppetry, the magician's box and stone-age tool and doll-making, he leads students on a quest to find the answer to the intriguing question, 'Has man a third hand?' A co-production between NHK Japan, KBS Korea, TVO La Chaine Canada, WTTW Chicago,YLE Finland, Channel 2 Polish Television and Film Australia.
