Poklosie 2012 ( Polish ) Aftermath
Started off as a simple Brothers reunion , where the elder brother ( Kalina ) comes back to his native after 20 years to visit his younger brother ( Jozef ) who seem to be running a rough patch in neighborhood . As film progresses , more weirdly events start to occur for only Kalina to realize that his brother is into some wrong path due to which he has gained hatred from all the neighbors. Jozef seems to be more interested to collect all the graveyard stones of Jews who were believed to be killed by Germans ,dead for many years and that their Memorial stones are removed and been used to lay roads around the area . Jozef feels it as disrespect to the dead and so he starts to spend huge money to collect those stones and he safeguards in his land. Since those stones are of Jews , a internal conflict raises between the polish members and so they start to isolate him from any affairs within the village.
As movie runs its course , both brothers start to realize there is something strange about the people there and that they are hiding something as if there is a much darker secret they all are trying to hide. So these brothers set out to find the mystery which eventually turns to be much shocking thing then they expected.
Movie will be slow and we cannot expect a dramatic twists as its inspired from true events happened in town of Jedwabne, north-east of Warsaw.An investigation ordered by the Polish government has found that on July 10, 1941, at least 340 Jews were killed, some burned alive after being locked inside a barn. The investigation found Nazi occupiers and local people colluded in the massacre.Worth watching once.
