The Plagues of Breslau (Polish: Plagi Breslau) is a 2018 Polish crime thriller directed by Patryk Vega.[1][2][3] 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

[edit]

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 (6 p.m.). The Polish police along with Helena Rus attempt to find and capture the serial killer before he strikes again.
