“Reporter Alicja Tabor returns to Wałbrzych, the city where she grew up, after years of absence. Nothing is as it should be - children have been disappearing for several months, animals have been murdered, and the inhabitants are overrun with messianic-national madness. For unclear reasons, more and more people gather around the self-proclaimed leader of the city, Jerzy Łabędz, the follower of the deceased prophet Jan Kołek, to whom, as he claims, the Lady of Sorrows from Wałbrzych appeared years ago. Alicja is working on a report on three missing children, but it soon turns out that along with the explanation of the disappearance of Andżelika, Kalinka and Patryk, the reporter discovers unknown, painful pages from her own past.

A story with a mystery in the background ...
The return to the city of childhood becomes an overwhelming return to the tragedies of his own family: the suicide of his older sister Ewa, fascinated by Wałbrzych legends, an unusual relationship with the still absent father and, finally, the premature death of both parents. Personal settlement with family secrets, handed down from generation to generation with trauma and ambiguities of the post-war period of resettlement, expulsions and escapes, allows Alicja to discover her own new identity.
“Dark, almost night - this cluster of words haunted me, made me never forget about myself. When the seeds of a story were born from it, I was terrified by their darkness ”.
