Director: Wojciech Jerzy Has
1985
The film tells the story of a young man from a noble family who, living during the 16th-century religious wars, becomes a "divine chosen one." The man recounts his tragic story just after death, having been exhumed from his grave. He saw himself as called to punish sinners, and his actions led to tragic consequences, including the condemnation of his own brother. This film explores themes of pride, religious fanaticism, and personal downfall, portraying the drama of an individual who becomes a victim of his own beliefs and mission.
