A Grain of Truth

A maverick prosecutor finds himself dragged into the investigation of a string of ritual killings rooted in Poland's anti-Semitic past, in the suspenseful detective thriller <strong>A GRAIN OF TRUTH</strong>.

Once the star of the Warsaw prosecutors' office, Teodor Szacki (Polish Academy Award-winning actor Robert Wieckiewicz) has ended his career and marriage to start a new life in a sleepy southeast Polish town. Seen as an outsider by the close-knit community, he faces suspicion when called in to get to the bottom of the brutal murder of a well-known social activist, her body discovered outside a former synagogue. As the trail of victims grows, and the killer remains elusive, clues point to a mysterious connection with historical myths of blood libel. Aided by a veteran police detective (Jerzy Trela), reluctant female prosecutor (Magdalena Walach), and local rabbi (Zohar Strauss), Teodor must unravel the painful tangle of Polish-Jewish relations and solve the enigmatic case while facing a rising tide of public and media hysteria.

Based on the bestselling novel by Polish author Zygmunt Miloszewski and directed by Borys Lankosz, <strong>A GRAIN OF TRUTH</strong> is a masterfully constructed whodunit that pits the forces of enlightenment against monstrous primeval superstitions.
