An elderly man is attacked in his own home by an extreme right-wing group. Initially, the attack seems random, but it turns out to be a planned action – the elderly man and the group’s leader, Andrzej, share a common past. The film tells a story of revenge and the morally gray areas it involves. Can the harm inflicted by a father in childhood justify Andrzej's extreme actions?
Festival screenings of the film:
Festiwal Filmów Frapujących, Gorzów Wielkopolski, 2023 – "Frapa" in the Fiction category for "highlighting the importance and need for forgiveness, even in a situation and space where everything seems lost. For working with mystery that keeps the viewer in suspense, making them a seeker. For a story that sheds light on what it means to be a good person and, despite harms and traumas, offers hope for breaking the cycle of violence."
