Masks

After being rejected by several drama schools, wanna-be actress Stella gets accepted at the mysterious "Matteusz Gdula"-private school. Also she works really hard on her skills, her missing talent gives her fellow students enough reasons to make fun of her. The only person befriending her is Cecile, a charismatic girl who never seems to leave the school. Soon Stella witnesses strange things: a girl disappears, weird noises can be heard behind a locked door and people start to behave oddly when she asks about the old wing to which the locked door leads. Cecile tells her about Gdula, the mysterious founder of the school, who back in the 70s invented a very questionable acting method that should make every actor "shine". But when several students died during his sessions, Gdula committed suicide and his method was banned. Everything points to the fact that someone still uses the old wing of the school to practice this bizarre method. And Stella wants to participate at all costs. Even if it would kill her...
