Bad Boy

Directed by Janusz Mrozowski

Tarnów Penitentiary houses inmates posing a serious threat to society or the facility’s security. Damian, a 28-year-old armed bank robber serving a ten-year sentence, is classified as ‘dangerous’ and placed in a separate wing for increased protection. For two weeks, a camera follows Damian, revealing his struggle to survive in isolation and cope with constant surveillance. He grapples with fear, regret, hope, and his uncertain future. A candid conversation with himself and the camera exposes his inner turmoil, doubts, and sensitivity. Damian’s tattooed hands hold a mirror, reflecting our society and ourselves.
