Open Air Cinema - Polish Prayers

As a traditional Catholic in Poland, 22-year-old Antek holds deeply conservative views. But when he falls in love for the first time, he begins to have doubts—first about the prohibition of premarital sex and ultimately about the existence of God.

22-year-old Antek is destined to become the religious leader of the ultra-conservative Polish Brotherhood. The Brotherhood organizes counter-demonstrations to LGBTQI+ events and meets for masculinity rituals in the forest. But as Antek is on the verge of promotion, he begins to question the moral principles he has fought for years.

Over four years, filmmaker Hanka Nobis accompanies the charismatic and sensitive young man, who increasingly identifies with traditional values. Through interactions with a constantly changing circle of friends, Antek develops his own opinion about what it means to be a good person.

Following the film there will be a discussion with director Hanka Nobis and protagonist Antek.

The event is realized in cooperation between the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation - Social Analysis and Political Education and the hofkino.berlin - open-air cinema in the FMP1
