After a short while he is called in to investigate a strange and mysterious murder case. Alienated in provincial reality he struggles to find a killer, when he stumbles upon more victims. While the investigation continues he realizes that all murders are connected to alleged historical Jewish ritual killings. Those murders prompt a wave of anti­Semitic hysteria in the town. In his investigation Szacki must wrestle with the painful tangle of Polish­Jewish relations and real findings of his work ­ that roots of some legends arefantasy, not a grain of truth…

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A procedural mystery that doubles as a reckoning with historical prejudice, where solving the crime means confronting the town's, and a nation's, ugliest myths. The investigation gradually transforms from a puzzle into a moral minefield.
