Storia
Karol, a young man living in Kraków, encounters an elderly man whom he suspects to be the notorious serial killer known as the 'Red Spider', who terrorized the city's streets during the 1960s. Karol becomes increasingly obsessed with this man and begins to secretly observe him. Simultaneously, Karol crosses paths with Danka, a photographer working for the local newspaper who is slightly older than him. Karol finds himself drawn into a complex web of intrigue and desire, torn between his growing affection for Danka and his macabre fascination with the suspected killer. As Karol's obsession deepens, he faces an imminent choice that could forever alter his life.
