From the producers of the Oscar-nominated ‘Corpus Christi’ and a standout at the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, where the film won eight awards, including the Golden Lions for Best Film and the Audience Award, THE ALTAR BOYS is a rebellious coming-of-age story about friendship, faith and the messy business of growing up. Bold, funny and unexpectedly moving coming-of-age story directed by award-winning filmmaker Piotr Domalewski (Silent Night PFF 2018, I Never Cry PFF 2021 - Audience Award), it follows four teenage altar boys who, frustrated by the indifference of adults towards social injustice, decide to take matters into their own hands. Their well-intentioned mission to help those in need and punish those they believe deserve it soon takes an increasingly dangerous turn. As their actions spiral out of control, the boys are forced to question what they believe, who they want to become and where the line between right and wrong really lies. With its sharp humour, youthful energy and an affectionate but unflinching look at growing up, THE ALTAR BOYS is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Polish language, English subtitles
