CGiii Comment

Intense. Powerful. Toxic and heart-breaking.

Krzysztof Grudzinski's imagery is not only astonishing...but, astounding.

A masterpiece of short-film-making.

The(ir) Blurb...

A member of a nationalist organisation lives in a quiet town with his lone mother. His life is all about hitting the gym and working in a local store. Other members of the group make fun of him because of his homosexual brother, who escaped to Warsaw. One unfortunate day he's blackmailed into planting explosives on the route of the Warsaw pride parade.
