The Red Spider

1967. Around the world - the Rolling Stones, hippies, free love and marihuana. In Poland – years of grim communism. Karol Kremer is an average teenager from what you call a good family: he graduated from high school, he’s preparing for entrance exams to study medicine, he’s just won the local diving championship. After the competition he goes with his friends to admire a fearless motorcycle stunt rider on the Wall of Death perform chilling moves on a vertical wall. During his visit in the funfair, Karol accidentally finds a body of a murdered boy and notices the man who probably is the killer. However, Karol does not raise the alarm…
