Manipulation (2026)

Film · 2026 · 116 min · Drama · Thriller

Who can you trust when the truth is contaminated?

Across Europe and beyond, a powerful elite society operates in plain sight while exerting unseen control. What appears to be influence is, in fact, a sophisticated system of manipulation embedded within both political structures and the Church itself. As the layers are peeled back, the thriller reveals an omnipresent threat — adaptive, relentless, and far more powerful than initially believed — challenging the very notion of free will and authority in the modern world.

Directed by David Balda

Starring Paweł Ławrynowicz, Féodor Atkine, Heino Ferch, James Faulkner, Arnaud Binard, Paweł Deląg, Predrag Bjelac, Radoslav Gavlas
