In the chilling crime thriller A GRAIN OF TRUTH, a hard-nosed prosecutor investigates a murder with bizarre and mysterious trappings, and finds himself immersed in Poland’s antisemitic past, a past that keeps resurfacing despite the modern world.
Murder, mystery and myth combine in the masterful and gripping A GRAIN OF TRUTH, director Borys Lankosz’s twisty police procedural thriller, adapted from the second novel in Zygmunt Miloszewshi’s fiction trilogy of the same name. The director and author co-wrote the screenplay, which crackles with suspense and eerie terror.
When the naked body of Ela Budnick is found next to a building that was once a synagogue, along with the probable murder weapon – a knife used in Jewish ritual – alarm spreads in the tiny Polish village. The investigation is assigned to Teodor Szacki (Robert Więckiewicz), a newcomer from the big city of Warsaw, rather than the local lead investigator Basia Sobieraj (Magdalena Walach), who was a close friend of the deceased.
