Between life and death an unusual dance is taking place on the set of Aleksander Cymbaluk’s student film.

This film is my personal reflection on death. Supposing an epoch, religious beliefs and social status have a meaning, we take the chance to go back to the beginning of the 20th century to a rich Jew's apartment- says Aleksander Cymbaluk, a cinematography student. We meet the hero (played by Marek Dmoch) in his last moments before death to follow him through his last trip. The essence of the film refers to the stage between life and death, and the story Aleksander shows in his student work takes place in three acts: denial, fear and acceptance- adds the film's author and director. "Macabre Dance" has artistic supervision by Jozef Romasz and Krzystof Ptak.
