An adaptation of Waldemar Lysiak's novel. The entire plot takes place during a long and dramatic night, in a single room that becomes a cage with no way out for the participants. The intrigue is played out in dialogue between thirteen characters. Each of them, while talking to the others, faces his own fears at the same time, fenced off from the other participants of the supper by the barrier of his own ego. The situation is without a way out - everyone will pay the price for what happened that night.... "The Price" is a thriller, at the same time being a psychological novel that keeps you in suspense until the conflict is resolved, but certainly not ended.
