Inspired by true events, Jan Komasa's multi-award-winning drama CORPUS CHRISTI is a remarkable tale of morality and redemption about a charismatic ex-convict who fooled an entire Polish village by falsely posing a priest.

On New Year’s Eve 1999, an armed man enters a TV studio during a broadcast, takes the host hostage and makes one demand: to give a message live on air.

Mateusz, an ex border patrol guard, revisits his old stomping ground, a remote station in the wilderness of snowbound mountains between Poland and the Ukraine, as a bonding experience with his two teenage sons after a family tragedy. As they get to the isolated cabin station, a stranger collapses half frozen onto their doorstep mumbling something about a lost party of people. Mateusz decides to set off in the snow to find the group, leaving the boys to care for the stranger. However, after regaining consciousness, this stranger appears not to be the victim of chance as he seemed at first, and the family holiday is transformed into a terrifying hellish experience.
