“A stunning examination of life and finding the will to live it.” —MetroWeekly

Moody, dark and handsome Dominik (Jakub Gierszal) is tormented by his classmates after video footage of his drunken kiss with bully Alex is spread across the Internet. Grappling with the public humiliation Dominik seeks solace in an avatar based “suicide room” where the pink-haired rebel Sylvia consoles him. “We’re freaks, weirdos, outside the norm. You’re different. Treasure that,” she tells him. As Dominik’s depression worsens, and his wealthy, inattentive parents fail to deal with the problem, @SuicideRoom follows Dominik as his online adventures (in stunning animated sequences) begin to dangerously bleed into his real life.

I saw the film last year in the cinema. As for the Polish films, it was the good. However, there were moments when authors overdrawn some scenes. But it shows what will happen in the future, if we don't change our behaviour. Thank you for the info, it's good to see that our movies are distributed abroad.

I've seen the movie last week:) I'm surprised it'll be released outside of Poland O_o

Anyway, I'm Polish but I don't think too highly about Polish cinematograohy - it's often depressive, hermeti and there are hardly ever any happy endings. I guess our native marthyrology wins;)

"Suicide Room" is a decent movie, one that can be showed abroad because - surprisingly - it's not too hermetic but rather universal.

As for the ending, I'm not going to make any spoilers unasked:)
