Candidates of Death

For over 15 years, three guys and the father of one of them have been going on vacation together every year to shoot another horror movie in Poland’s extraordinary outdoor settings and mysterious locations. Will their friendship last until the end of the world?

A dozen or so years ago, Maciej took his son and two of his friends on vacation, during which they shot a horror film together. He wanted to get the boys away from their computers. He had no idea at the time that it would turn into one of the greatest adventures of his life and that together they would create not only a unique, but certainly one-of-a-kind horror series titled The Candidates of Death. Today, the boys are nearly 30 years old. They’ve changed a lot, and each of them is searching for his own path.

The Candidates of Death is a chronicle of their cinematic adventures spanning over a dozen years. It is a film about themselves, about growing up, questions, fears, and dreams – and above all, about the power of a long-standing friendship.
