Spoilers ahead
Janina Duszejko, Agnieszka Mandat, an eccentric elderly woman living with her two dogs in a remote mountainous region of the Kłodzko Valley in south-western Poland, becomes entangled in a disturbing sequence of deaths that rattles a tight-knit community. When her dogs vanish after she gives a local woman, known as Dobra Nowina, a ride to the store, Duszejko confronts her neighbor, a notorious poacher whom locals nickname “Big Foot,” whose traps leave animals to die in agony. The case swiftly pulls in a web of power and money: the town’s police chief is pressed by Borys Szyc as a local businessman named Wnetrzak pushes him for a payoff, and Duszejko’s pleas about animal suffering are dismissed or ridiculed by authorities who seem weary of her unconventional beliefs.
