In a remote village, a series of mysterious murders targeting hunters begins to unfold. As the killings multiply, tension rises, setting the stage for a confrontation between humanity and nature.
Blending cinema and theatre, this adaptation of Olga Tokarczuk’s novel explores the pervasive nature of violence, its role in shaping the modern world and its lasting impact on present and future generations.
At the heart of the story lies a haunting question: are the animals truly the threat, or has human cruelty unleashed a cycle of vengeance of its own making?
