Lipowo. Zmowa milczenia

I am not a fan of cliche tv crime mini serials, but this one turned out different. My wife started to watch, I was only peeking from the second episode, but got involved from the third...

The main character is an energetic ex-policewoman Weronika from Warsaw, who settles in a provincial village, where everyone knows each other from generations. I was impressed by bold, natural and emotional performance of Julia Kijowska. Her character is an opposition of a calm introvertic young policeman Daniel Piotr Pacek, yet there is a chemistry between the two, who quickly start working together, despite Weronika isn't in the police anymore. There is not a big crime in the village, not any serial killer - just a case of a nun, who was apparently ran over by the car in a purpose. There is also a case of one lost girl. Weronika feels, that these matters might be connected with each other and with two suspicious local competing businessmen, or with several citizens performing pagan rituals.

A core of the community is a church and a female monastery, led by a respectable priest, played in charismatic way by Olaf Lubaszenko. Does the enclosure monastery hide a mystery?

The plot develops in an interesting and unobvious way. After a showdown, we actually might be left with a question: was there really a crime from a moral point of view? Who is responsible?
