Shiner – Polish Film Festival

Paweł comes home with a black eye. On the way to his room, he walks through his father’s car workshop, where the old man’s eagle eye catches the bruise. The father feels obliged to teach his son to stand up for himself and avenge the insult. But that night, the two of them are not the only ones leaving the workshop. Paweł sees nightmares and spectres, impersonators from a fleapit, resembling his ancestors and Polish historical figures. As the (Polish) saying goes, a lie has no legs, and it sure is a feeble ground for vengeance, as both men will find out the hard way.
