Pierce

Description

A young fencer faces a difficult dilemma when his charismatic older brother—a former national fencing champion whose career came to a resolute end after killing an opponent—appears in his life again after seven years in prison. Forever connected through their brotherhood and shared passion for fencing, it becomes easier and easier to believe in his brother’s innocence. But is that belief justified? Nelicia Low’s directorial debut is a gripping thriller with two intriguing leads and gorgeous cinematography by Michał Dymek (EO).
