This film is about the rock band KULT, whose success is largely based on an idea that became the title of one of their songs: “Your word is truth.” You can love it or hate this truth, but you cannot remain indifferent to it. KULT had creative power and the capacity to bring in crowds. For four decades on the Polish music scene, they maintained their as status as one of the greatest and most popular Polish rock bands. Touring, the musicians’ natural environment, forms the narrative framework of the film. It’s central element of their daily lives.
