DESCRIPTION

Tomek is studying law at the University of Warsaw with the financial assistance of Mr and Mrs Krasucki, parents of his childhood friend Gabi. The punishment for Tomek’s plagiarism is expulsion from the university, which the protectors do not know and they continue to support Tomek. When the case comes to light, they break off contact with him, cutting him off from Gabi, with whom his secretly in love. Tomek is employed on an internet troll farm, his actions are becoming more aggressive and he’s attacking more and more important characters. Full of anger, he also invigorates the Krasuckis family, on whom he wants revenge. Komasa looks closely at those characters, who are invisible in everyday life, but acting in the masses can overturn the established order.


DIRECTOR
Jan Komasa (1981), Polish director, graduated from the Łódź Film School (PWSFTviT). The work that decided about Komasa's position in Polish cinema is his feature-length independent debut “Suicide Room”, an award-winning, unsettling story about young people and their problems. Komasa's subsequent achievements turned out to be both cash and artistic successes. The director's next film “Corpus Cristi” was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The latest picture, “The Hater” refers to the title of the debut, but the only character connecting those two stories is Beata Santorska (Agata Kulesza).
