The newest film by Oscar-nominated director Bartosz Konopka, who was awarded at the Berlin festival - the creator of the famous "Królik po berlińsku" and the "fear of heights" appreciated by the viewers and critics. "Blood of God" is a reflection of the essence of faith and church that has a contemporary dimension, a form reminiscent of the uncompromising works of Nicolas Winding Refna and the hit series "Game of thrones". The main roles are: Krzysztof Pieczyński ("Belfer", "Grain of truth", "Jack Strong"), Karol Bernacki ("Amok"), Jacek Koman ("Moulin Rouge!", "Son of a Gun", "Grain of truth" "), Wiktoria Gorodeckaja, actress of the National Theater in Warsaw and one of the most original contemporary performers - Frenchman, Olivier de Sagazan.

Early Middle Ages. On the last pagan island, the knight Willibrord (Krzysztof Pieczyński) miraculously escaped death. Ferociously experienced by fate, but hard-fought warrior, he would have died long ago if not for the help of the Nameless (Karol Bernacki) - full of ideals of the boy, hiding the true identity from the world. Despite differences in worldview and approach to religion, men become traveling companions. They continue their journey combined by their common goal - they want to find and baptize the Gentile settlement hidden in the mountains. Although the Christianization of the inhabitants is the only way to save them from the impending doom, the mission of the heroes will try to keep the priest of the Gentiles and their leader, Geowold. Their actions expose alien views to a great test. However, in the last bastion of "old faith" Willibrord and The Unknown can count on an unexpected ally. It is Prahwe - the charismatic daughter of Geowold. Soon, love confronts hatred, dialogue with violence, madness with rules, and many will have to die ... The idea for the film was born of several inspirations. First of all, from my eternal opposition to undisputed dogmas and authorities. From the need to look for a dialogue, alternatives that can reconcile different ideas into the world, rather than exacerbate conflicts. Second - from the fascination with peaceful rebels, such as Christ, Gandhi, Martin Luther King and others. Thirdly, from the wisdom of silence, the search for internal focus, the influence of people on the presence, not empty words, omnipresent issues, ideologies. - Bartosz Konopka, director.
