Does Artur, the main character, can revive a cat? Does he read minds, as his younger brother, Marcin, claims? Can he really anticipate the future events? Everything happens in an ordinary, on the surface, average Polish family. Father Hubert is a professional soldier, who just got back from mission in Afghanistan. Mother Teresa just got a new post as an insurance agent. We see them on a picnic in the wood with their three children, they seem to be happy. How evil can turn up in such an environment and lead to an unbelievable catastrophe? Film begins with a scene of two brothers being arrested. Days that preceded those tragic events reveal motifs of this terrible crime… Dark thrilling criminal story transforms into horrifying psychological vivisection. Film is a shocking recording of a crime committed by two young boys (12 and 21 years old); they killed their own mother.
