The Plagues of Breslau


The Plagues of Breslau is a 2018 Polish crime thriller directed by Patryk Vega. It premiered on 24 November 2018.
The title corresponds to the former name of Wrocław, which from 1741 until 1945 was "Breslau". The film and plot were loosely based on a series of crime novels by Marek Krajewski, who often incorporates Breslau's pre-war crime scene into his works.

Plot

Set in the city of Wrocław, detective Helena Rus finds a corpse sewn in a cowhide. The murders continue for the next five days and each victim is killed at precisely 18:00. The Polish police along with Helena Rus attempt to find and capture the serial killer before he strikes again.
