Lipowo, is it the darkest town in Poland? Series inspired by Katarzyna Puzyñska’s bestseller

Secrets from years ago, a surprising murder and fear that closes the mouth. The heroine of the series “Lipowo. Conspiracy of Silence” by Player Original is facing all this. Weronika Nowakowska is looking for peace in a small town, but she has no chance to relax because she falls into the middle of criminal events. The production, inspired by the best-selling novel by Katarzyna Puzyñska entitled “Butterfly” can be watched from August 18 in the Player. The star cast includes Julia Kijowska, Piotr Pacek, Mariusz Bonaszewski, Olaf Lubaszenko and Eryk Kulm Jr. – and an electrifying supporting cast.

“The seeds of lies sprout in the soil of speech, so only those who remain silent will find the truth” – this motto perfectly reflects the mentality of many inhabitants of Lipowo in the picturesque Kujawy region. The sleepy town, immersed in greenery, makes an idyllic impression. The perfect place to reset yourself and regain your zest for life. This is what the writer Weronika Nowakowska thinks, who comes here to write a book and think about many things. He does not suspect that in Lipowo he will not find one, i.e. the so-called holy peace. She will certainly not be bored, because moments full of tension and terror await her. The kind that many authors of detective stories never even dreamed of. Because in Lipowo the season for electrifying events, lined with local myths and pagan beliefs, lasts all the time. Polish Twin Peaks invites fans of thrilling stories and unforeseen plot twists.

Vows of silence and murder

Shortly after Weronika’s arrival, Lipowo, which has been so peaceful until now, is overwhelmed by chaos. A nun from a local convent dies. Who could care about the death of a nun from an order covered by the silence clause? Why did she have to die? Which of the inhabitants of Lipowo is so desperate to commit murder? Questions multiply, the atmosphere thickens, and the fear for life becomes the share of the inhabitants of Lipowo. Weronika decides to solve a criminal mystery. However, he does not know what a dangerous game he is playing.

The Lipowo idyll is an illusion, because honesty is not the strongest point of the local community. People have mastered the game of appearances here to perfection. During the day, prayers resound in the local church, and at night, in the Witches’ Glade, someone performs pagan rituals. Weronika, as an outsider, sees and feels more. She is so effective and committed that the chief of the local police, Daniel Podgórski, unofficially enlists her in the investigation. The writer tries to break the conspiracy of silence that prevails in Lipowo, which exposes herself to danger. By the way, he learns local tales and legends that constantly circulate somewhere in the background. Can old tales really be “put between fairy tales”? Pagan rituals and stories, whispered from mouth to mouth, clearly compete with the modern life of the town. Who is on whom and why everyone, not only the nuns who are bound by a vow of silence, have water in their mouths?
