Palm Sunday: the mystery of the shop in Zamarstyniv

Watch on YouTube
Palm Sunday, 1924. Róża Lempertowa, a prosperous shopkeeper disliked by her neighbours, is brutally killed in her own shop. She lived alone in a poor district, refused to sell on credit and had a reputation for being miserly and cold.

The police consider robbery, revenge and personal grudges, but the truth turns out to be unexpected. The case takes us into Lviv’s 1920s underworld of illicit deals, violent attacks and street justice.

Background music: Scott Buckley — “I Walk With Ghosts”.
