Janina Duszejko is a sweet, charismatic and attractive old woman who lives a reclusive life in a mountain town near the Polish border and has a passion for astrology. When she goes deep into the forest to look for her lost dogs she finds her neighbor’s dead body surrounded by deer tracks. Events reach a mystical dimension and the whole town is affected when similar deaths occur and all of the victims are hunters. The film depicts life in rural Poland in a realistic style and reflects seasonal changes with striking cinematography. It is an escapist crime thriller that moves back and forth between genres.
