In the shadowy underbelly of post-communist Poland, a disgraced detective named Tadek, portrayed with grim intensity by Jim Carrey, becomes obsessed with a cold case. He discovers unsettling parallels between an unsolved murder and the plot of a controversial novel written by a charismatic and sinister author, Kozlov, played by Marton Csokas. As Tadek delves deeper, he crosses paths with Kozlov's enigmatic girlfriend, Kasia, brought to life by Charlotte Gainsbourg, whose loyalties are as murky as the case itself. This gritty drama-thriller, directed by Alexandros Avranas, weaves a tense narrative where the line between fiction and reality blurs. Tadek's relentless pursuit drags him into a psychological game of cat and mouse, forcing him to confront his own demons while navigating a world of moral ambiguity and dangerous obsession. The film crafts a bleak, atmospheric portrait of a man risking everything to uncover a truth that may be more horrifying than the crime itself.
