The Photographer

An elusive serial killer is operating in modern-day Moscow. He leaves numbered tiles at the scenes of his crimes, similar to those placed at crime scenes by forensic teams. Legnica, 1974: a closed Soviet troops garrison. A seven-year-old boy is being taken away by rail to a psychiatric hospital in Moscow. He is supposed to stay there forever. Contemporary Moscow: intelligence services are pursuing a serial killer called the Photographer. Natasza, the sole witness who has survived an encounter with the Photographer, is to act as a bait. Why did he spare her life? How does Natasza know that the tracks of the murderer are to be followed in Poland? Contemporary Legnica: Natasza and a Polish police officer are the only ones who do not want to kill the encircled Photographer. What is it that unites these three people?
