In deep and dark Polish suburbia, a young sex worker meets a withdrawn client in this exploration of sexual and social alienation, inspired by real events.

When sex worker Jan meets a new out-of-town client, an unsettling anxiety saturates the interaction. In the cold depths of Polish suburbia, Jan is driven to a place where his own preconceptions are challenged. Inspired by real events, Mercy explores power dynamics and alienation — social, sexual and emotional — through the lens of sex work.
