Some of the shots look kind of familiar... 😎
Not by accident. Perła Żeliszowa was one of the locations where the film was made.
The production directed by Jan Holoubek was filmed in Lower Silesia. The film crew arrived in Żeliszów in November 2025 and spent several days at the historic site.
“Dziki, dziki wschód” takes viewers to 1943, to territories occupied by the Third Reich. The main character is Martin Wolff, a German official sent to a remote village to solve the mystery of a Jewish lawyer’s disappearance.
The investigation leads him into a world of secrets, betrayal, greed and collaboration with the occupiers. In the background, there is also the story of the lawyer’s hidden fortune, which various people are searching for.
Jan Holoubek, creator of the series “Rojst,” “Wielka Woda” and “Heweliusz,” is directing the film. The cast includes Robert Więckiewicz and Joanna Kulig, among others.
