What is Golem about?

Pernat finds himself in a police interrogation, accused of a murder, and unable to recall any details of the crime, or even his own life. He's released back into a world of raving lunatics and deranged dentists, murderous doctors and scientists who believe the secret of human creation is inside the walls of a cast-iron oven.

Golem is a 1979 Polish science fiction film directed and co-written by Piotr Szulkin. Inspired by the titular being in Jewish folklore, as well as the 1915 novel The Golem by Austrian author Gustav Meyrink, the film takes place in a 21st-century dystopia and reimagines the golem as a genetic clone.
