ABOUT THE FILM

A suspenseful social drama set in the realities of the contemporary Polish village. A group of farmers organizes a protest in front of the house of an MP who, contrary to previous promises, voted against their interests. At the same time, the body of one of the local farmers is found. Everyone suspects the leader of the protest, Jarek, even though the deceased was his closest friend. The man begins his own investigation, which leads him to find out the true causes of his friend's death, and at the same time it verifies the attitudes of people around him.
