The young director is staying with the psychological thriller genre of his debut feature Recruited Love (2010), starring Robert Więckiewicz. Last Floor's screenplay is based on authentic events which took place several years ago in a small town in southern Poland. The main character is captain Derczyński, serving in an army unit stationed in the town. Married, has two sons (5 and 9), and a daughter (15). Loved by his wife and children, he is very devoted to his family. Deczynski’s views lie on conservative side. His attachment to traditional Polish cuisine, care for the physical fitness of his family, and promoting patriotic values, all seem to be absolutely harmless, if not funny. What began as a light comedy, has turned, due to an action plot, into a dark psychological thriller. We watch with awe as the captain transforms, falling deeper and deeper into the abyss of his obsession.
