Corpus Christi – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Poland's Oscar contender. Winner of ten prestigious awards at the 44th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia. Corpus Christi is the story of 20-year-old Daniel, who during his stay in juvie undergoes a spiritual transformation and secretly dreams of becoming a priest. After several years of imprisonment, the boy is released on parole and then directed to work in a carpentry workshop. Instead of going there, Daniel heads to the local church, where he befriends the priest. When – in the absence of a clergyman – an opportunity unexpectedly arises, the boy uses it and, pretending to be a priest, begins to work in the town’s priesthood.
