Abstract

The assessment of the phenomenon of an individual’s suicide is sometimes ambivalent. Losing a loved one is an extremely difficult experience. On the one hand, it can be perceived as fear of life, cowardice or reluctance to face everyday problems, on the other hand, it can be interpreted as a specific act of heroism or compassion, triggering empathy. Being able to read certain verbal and non-verbal cues gives the opportunity to support someone who is considering committing suicide. In this article, I will answer the question whether Jan Komasa’s film Sala samobójców adequately presents the problem of suicidal behavior among adolescents.
