Shivers

Tomek, an ordinary boy from a small town, is suddenly drawn into a world of rituals and strict rules that go beyond the usual school environment. Druhna, a young woman with a stern yet magnetic gaze, arrives to select a participant for the camp—a child who could become a "model citizen." She chooses Tomek, knowing that the boy’s home life is empty: his father is in prison, and his mother is consumed by daily worries. The camp, seemingly an adventure, turns into a stage for an ideological experiment. The children learn loyalty through informing on each other, judging their peers, and participating in mass rituals—songs, decorations, banners. In this world, every gesture, every word is monitored. Lost and lonely, Tomek begins to admire Druhna, whose authority seems almost divine. When his father finally returns and tries to restore their family bond, Tomek discovers that the chasm between them is vast. He is no longer the same child—his loyalty, fear, and fascination with Druhna have left a mark that will be difficult to erase.
