The production, arriving in cinemas on Friday, 21 November 2025, focuses instead on adolescence, friendship and moral awakening.
The film follows a group of teenage altar servers - played by Tobiasz Wajda, Bruno Błach-Baar, and brothers Mikołaj and Filip Juszczyk - who share a bond built on friendship, rap music and their genuine faith.
While helping at their local parish, they witness the clash between religious ideals and everyday reality.
Their disillusionment deepens when they discover that donations intended for the poor are set to be diverted elsewhere.
In a rebellious attempt to “fix” the injustice, the boys break into the parish safe to redirect the money to people they believe truly need it. But determining who deserves help proves far more complicated than expected.
They secretly install a camera in the confessional and eavesdrop on the parishioners’ confessions, only to learn that people’s actions do not always match what they tell the priest.
Domalewski emphasises that the film’s power lies in its unconventional look at faith and morality - not as social commentary, but through the raw emotions and impulsive choices of teenagers testing the boundaries of right and wrong.
The story also sheds new light on a wider trend in contemporary Poland, where the youngest generation - the most atheistic in the country’s history - is increasingly rejecting the ultraconservative Catholic Church, skipping religion classes in state schools, and openly criticising an institution perceived as rife with corruption and scandals.
