Plot
Not satisfied with the result of a murder investigation in Warsaw's gay community, an officer in 1980s communist Poland resolves to uncover the truth.
Sinekatalog’s take
A grim period thriller about a policeman who investigates a murder while the state watches and hides. The mood is bleak and suspenseful, and the portrait of a repressive society is persuasive. A solid choice for those who like historical crime stories with a political edge.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
