DESCRIPTION
Twenty-year-old Daniel is serving his sentence. In the detention center he goes through a spiritual transformation and wants to become a priest. As a person with a criminal record, he cannot enter a seminary. However, the dream is stronger and when Daniel, on parole, is supposed to go to a carpenter’s shop at the other end of Poland, he instead ends up in a parish in a small town pretending to be a priest. In the pastor’s absence, he guides the residents through a collective trauma. His zeal and unconventional approach to the faith offset the shortcomings of his priestly formation. The film has received accolades and awards at film festivals around the world, including an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

DIRECTOR
Jan Komasa (1981), Polish director, graduated from the Łódź Film School (PWSFTviT). The work that decided about Komasa's position in Polish cinema is his feature-length independent debut “Suicide Room”, an award-winning, unsettling story about young people and their problems. Komasa's subsequent achievements turned out to be both cash and artistic successes. The director's next film “Corpus Cristi” was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The latest picture, “The Hater” refers to the title of the debut, but the only character connecting those two stories is Beata Santorska (Agata Kulesza).FILMOGRAPHY
