Inheritance

Inheritance reveals that Wladyslaw Fortuna’s murder was committed by Romeo, who was actually Gustaw, a man haunted by his grandmother’s suicide during a game show episode. His anger and desire for revenge drove him to confront Wladyslaw after believing he cheated his grandmother. During their encounter, Romeo impulsively stabbed Wladyslaw, mistakenly believing that Wladyslaw was wearing a protective jacket that would prevent his attack. The stabbing was not planned but was a result of Romeo’s emotional turmoil. Although Wladyslaw’s death appears suspicious at first, the real motive behind the murder was rooted in his grandmother’s tragic history and Romeo’s misguided need for justice.

In the end, the authorities catch Romeo, who is sentenced for his crime, but a strange, bittersweet twist occurs when Wladyslaw’s family discovers a hidden USB stick inside a puzzle box Henryk solved. This USB is said to contain the designs for Wladyslaw’s inventions, but given the unreliable narration of Dawid, it could also be empty or a practical joke. It leaves open the possibility that Wladyslaw may have been playing one last prank or that the inheritance was never meant to be material at all. Ultimately, the film suggests that the true inheritance was the family’s reconnection and the understanding that their bond is more valuable than money or material wealth. The fake treasure hunt, with its puzzles and secrets, serves as a metaphor for discovering the importance of family and trust, rather than material gains. And while the inheritance may or may not exist in the form they expected, the real gift was their renewed relationships and the recognition that what truly matters cannot be bought or stolen.**
