Hipoteza Riemanna
Mathematics is order. Tidiness. Peace... and silence. Numbers, functions, and theorems avoid the glitz of fleeting exaltation and excitement.
Marin Mersenne, Leonhard Euler, Pierre de Fermat, Carl Gauss, Adrien-Marie Legendre devoted all their creative energy to exploring the mystery of prime numbers, trying to discover the order of their occurrence.
With no effect.
It was only Bernhard Riemann (in 1859) who announced to the world the revolutionary: "The real part of each non-trivial zeros of the zeta function is equal to 1/2."
However, in his short 39-year life, this extremely talented professor at the University of Göttingen did not manage to prove this postulate.
Since then, we have managed to land on the moon, connect humanity with the Internet, and construct machines that can write poetry... but the Riemann Hypothesis has been neither proven... nor disproven.
No one knows whether prime numbers occur randomly or not!

Stefan Szymczyk (born 1985)
He dropped out of the Warsaw School of Economics because he didn't want to work in a corporation, the University of Technology because he didn't like technical drawing, a private school for acousticians because he couldn't afford the tuition, the University of Economics because you can't enter the same water twice, and the University of Life Sciences because he decided to become a writer instead of a surveyor.
He was a model in New York, a football player for Śląsk Wrocław reserves, a DJ in Warsaw, a construction worker in Cyprus, a bartender in Oxford, a chef in Heidelberg and a rollercoaster operator in Los Angeles.
He has been working in the computer games industry as a scriptwriter for eight years.
Mathematics is often associated with precision, logic, and silence. But what happens when silence becomes a way of life?
The protagonist of Hipoteza Riemanna is a mathematician who has not spoken a single word in twelve years—lost in the solitude of numbers, formulas, and an unsolved mystery that has haunted brilliant minds for over a century. To him, the world outside of mathematics is nothing but noise. Until, one day, a homeless kitten appears… and for the first time in over a decade, he speaks.
This film is not just about the Riemann Hypothesis; it’s about human isolation, the obsessive pursuit of truth, and the unexpected moments that remind us of our own humanity. It explores the fragile boundary between genius and loneliness, the order of numbers versus the chaos of emotions.
Through a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, I wanted to tell a story where the smallest connection—a creature as fragile as a stray cat—can break through years of silence, proving that even the most logical mind is not immune to the warmth of life.
