Kameleon (2001)

Overview

Night, fog, rain. A narrow Masurian road. Speeding trucks. A lonely man behind the wheel of an old car is rushing home to his daughter's concert. He overtakes the trucks, rushing towards his destiny. That destiny is a drug-addicted girl dancing on the road and waving a burning jacket like a torch. Miraculously, the trucks avoid her. The man is the commander of the local police station, the girl is a drug addict from a nearby rehab center. She will die under the wheels, and he will do everything he can to explain what she was doing on the road at night. He will make heroic attempts not to become like those around him: corrupt authorities and police, drug dealers selling their wares even under the mayor's window. His name is Leon Kamelski, but everyone calls him Chameleon.
