***Alchemik*** is a [Polish](/source/Polish_language) horror film written and directed by Jacek Koprowicz. It was released in 1988.[1][2]

## Plot

An [alchemist](/source/Alchemy) Sendivius, arrives at king Fryderyk's court, and claims that he possesses a recipe for the [transmutation](/source/Magnum_opus_(alchemy)) of [base metals](/source/Base_metal) into gold. He claims that the transmutation emits poisonous gasses, and asks everybody to leave the room. After some time Sendivus arrives with gold, which he falsely claims to be the result of transmutation. As a reward, he asks the king to release an imprisoned alchemist Tomasz Seton, who is in the possession of a real transmutation recipe. Seton is freed, however, he is already in agony and can't tell anything of value to Sendivus. The only hope of Sendivus is finding the wife of Seton, a [satanist](/source/Theistic_Satanism) Teresa Seton, who might be in the possession of the recipe.[3]
