DARK, ALMOST NIGHT

When the town of Walbrzych experiences a series of mysterious child kidnappings, journalist Alicja Tabor returns to her home town to meet the families of the missing children and look into a mystery that puzzles even the police. During her private investigation, Alicja quite unexpectedly pieces together a trail of dramatic events which started decades earlier. In her quest for truth, the journalist faces a new threat as well as the one she had been running away from her entire adult life – the shocking secrets of her family and her own childhood. As the story progresses, the dark criminal scheme ties everything together: the children's disappearance, the war-tainted past, the legend of a lost treasure, and even the fate of Alicja, who during her journey faces pure evil, but also finds allies on the side of good. DARK, ALMOST NIGHT is based on a Polish bestseller by Joanna Bator. Like the book, the film adaptation deals with how a society behaves when it's paralyzed by grief and ignorance.
