Fundacja Lux Veritatis

The artistic and spiritual journey of a Polish January insurgent, artist-painter and benefactor of the poor - Adam Chmielowski, who, after years of turbulent youth, decides to abandon his former life and the world gets to know him as Brother Albert. His rebellious nature and disagreement with evil and suffering cause him to escape by a trick from Tsarist captivity hidden in a coffin. After achieving fame, he abandons art to serve the people. His tragic fate is crowned by a breakdown, expulsion from the Jesuit order and confinement in a mental institution. However, he was soon reborn and returned, as Brother Albert - a future saint. The film's story of his life is complemented by the fates of his famous friends and artists - Helena Modrzejewska and Jozef Chelmonski.

World War I is underway. Tsarist troops are rampaging around Tarnów. Sixteen-year-old Karolina Kózkówna suffers a martyr's death in defense of the faith. Her father blames himself for the death of his beloved daughter. The story of the characters is completed by Teresa, who carries in her heart a secret about the rape inflicted by the Cossack Sorokin. What will be the fate of the disgraced Teresa? Where does the meaning of Blessed Caroline's martyrdom lie? Will the father come to terms with the loss of his beloved daughter? The film carries a message about the meaning of suffering, the victory of love over hatred, as well as the news that faith in Jesus Christ can constantly change the life of each of us.
