A Short Film About Killing

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a contemporary Poland marked by desolation and disillusionment, a young man named Jacek becomes the protagonist of a story that explores violence in its rawest and darkest form. The plot unfolds in a city that seems trapped in a cycle of hopelessness, where routine and lack of future affect the lives of its inhabitants.

Jacek is a man driven by a profound emotional void and existential frustration, which lead him to commit an atrocious act: the murder of an innocent taxi driver. Through this act, the film dissects the psychology of the killer, revealing his motivations and internal conflicts. As Jacek faces the consequences of his actions, the story immerses us in his tormented mind and presents a series of disturbing encounters that reflect the dehumanization of the society surrounding him.

At the same time, the life of the taxi and the suffering of the man who dies in the act are portrayed, creating a contrast between the aggressor and the victim and illustrating how their paths intertwine in a fateful moment. With a forceful and stylized approach, the film is not only a reflection on violence and morality but also a critique of a social system that seems to have lost its way, leaving us questioning the value of life and death in a world struggling to find its own identity.
