About the film:

Somewhere in the forests of Poland a brotherhood is forming in the name of Jesus Christ, with the goal of eradicating homosexuality and returning Poland to the Poles. It is headed by Antek, a boy whose rigid value system is upended by love.

This longitudinal documentary by director Hana Nobis is a probe into the thinking and intellectual development of members of a conservative, right-leaning brotherhood that brings together mainly young Poles who define their national identity through Christian values. The central character is Antek, a teenager who confidently proclaims through a megaphone that paedophilia is the next stage of homosexuality. But when Antek falls in love, he slowly begins to question his attitudes. First he changes his mind about premarital sex, and eventually even about faith in God Himself.

DIRECTED BY Hanna Nobis
