Synopsis

Chemo is inspired by true story of Magda Prokopowicz who set up a foundation called Rak’n’Roll.

Thirty year old Benek experiences a crisis mainly manifested by compulsive suicidal thoughts and dreams about death. Accidentally he meets a beautiful, magnetic and mouthy Lena. He is dazzled from the first moment and his admiration grows when Lena not only understands his suicidal preoccupation but shares a similar one.

They embark on a crazy journey during which Benek realises he is not the only man in Lena’s life - in addition, the girl has cancer, and she is not attempting to treat it. Admiration mixes with fear - finally Benek promises to accompany her to the end...
