THE PLEDGE

How much is a human soul worth? Would you agree to sell it? How much would you charge? The film character collects human souls. He walks the streets of Krakow, talks to people he meets, plays chess with them and looks for those who are willing to sign the pact. A short conversation is an opportunity to discuss ultimate questions such as death, the meaning of life and dreams. So far, he has obtained several hundreds of souls. An average price is PLN 5 per soul.
