DESCRIPTION

Karolina, Basia and Agnieszka are facing serious life problems. In order to regain spiritual harmony, they seek the help of an exorcist. For several years, Konrad Szołajski patiently accompanied people who believed that they were possessed and who were subjected to exorcisms. The document presents various points of view: we can hear an opinion of a Catholic priest, a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a historian of religion. Szołajski refrains from judging or alarming - he shows the dramatis personae struggling against evil with tranquility, sympathy and understanding.
