HOUSE OF THE CHOSEN

DIRECTOR

SZYMON LENKOWSKI

House of the chosen can be treated as a kind of crime novel. It is a search for the intellectual guru who has disappeared in mysterious circumstances. At the same time, the reality show "House of the chosen" he invented is being made on television. It is also a story about love and the question of what it is and can be in an era that makes it a fetish, and at the same time denies its supra-individual source. In the film, we look behind the scenes of the media people, heroes, who create the picture of the world for us. Or maybe the House ... deals mainly with evil, or rather evil, which existence's we deny, and the evel that - deprived of it's name - gains freedom in our reality?
