The Sheriff's Case

The Sheriff's Case

Documentary portrait of a mysterious man who guarded order in Lomza in the '80s. Memories of the sheriff provide an opportunity to show the grim reality of Lomza. Focused like a lens on some problems plaguing the country - alcoholism, stupefaction, the disappearance of ambition and aspiration, crime, the lack of hope for any change. All this is tried to be remedied by the almost fairy-tale character of an extreme idealist from Lomza - the title sheriff - who single-handedly undertakes the fight against all manifestations of evil, exposing himself to ridicule and even suspicion of mental illness.
