Emil Barchański. A resident of Warsaw. He took part in the action of setting fire to the monument of Feliks Dzierżyński. He took part in street demonstrations. Arrested as a result of a provocation. Beaten. He was put before the Juvenile Court for printing illegal publications. In 1982 he was 17 years old. On a June day he left home and never returned. He died in mysterious circumstances. The author of the film attempts to reconstruct the last hours of the boy's life, and at the same time goes back to the events of the months preceding the tragic epilogue. Emil and his death are recalled on camera by his mother and peers. His co-workers talk about the events during martial law, drawing sometimes surprising conclusions. People involved in solving the mystery of the boy's death also talk about it. The most controversial character of the story also appears: a man who accompanied Emil during his last walk to the Vistula River.

BEAUTIFUL FUNERALS is a hand-painted double-step-printed film composed of 1) dense blackness variously punctuated by brilliantly colored jewel/flower-like shapes AND 2) interruptive white sections which are fuzzily dotted with blurred whites and criss-crossed by black "brushstrokes" and hard-edge straight black and white lines.
