Synopsis
An adaptation of Waldemar Lysiak's novel. The entire plot takes place during a long and dramatic night, in a single room that becomes a cage with no way out for the participants. The intrigue is played out in dialogue between thirteen characters. Each of them, while talking to the others, faces his own fears at the same time, fenced off from the other participants of the supper by the barrier of his own ego. The situation is without a way out - everyone will pay the price for what happened that night.... "The Price" is a thriller, at the same time being a psychological novel that keeps you in suspense until the conflict is resolved, but certainly not ended.
Cena is a tightly-wound experience of tension and twists, where trust is scarce and danger lurks around every corner. Each moment builds suspense toward a pulse-pounding climax.

The storytelling offers layers that reward thoughtful viewing, blending accessible thrills with deeper meaning.

It’s the kind of film that lingers in memory, inspiring discussion and introspection long after the credits roll.
In the end, Cena stands as a shining example of cinematic craft — a harmonious blend of narrative, performance, and technical achievement.
