The film weaves together three narrative threads: the first one is an archaic legend of the Navajo Indians, about gods who populate the Valley of the Gods as rock monuments. The second one is the story of the wealthiest man, Wes Tauros. Suffering from a personal tragedy, Tauros lives hidden away from the world and makes a public appearance only from time to time. The third story is that of the narrator, John Ecas, who works as a copywriter at Tauros’s company. After a traumatic split from his wife and looking for a way out of a dead end, John starts writing his boss’s biography and accepts an invitation to his mansion. At this time Tauros’s company, which mines uranium ore, buys the Valley of the Gods to bore tunnels through the sacred land. The shattered peace of Navajo ancestors makes the rocks give birth to an avenger… A fascinating, mysterious, beautiful and peculiar vision of America. (Warsaw Film Festival)

The actors’ maxim “Never go full retard” gets an unexpected director-screenwriters’ equivalent in “Never go full Lech Majewski”, or what happens when someone creatively snaps and, in addition to that, gets access to drones, a green screen and deranged actors willing to do anything under the illusion of working with one of the greats. The pompous lack of good judgment has taken on an entirely new dimension, which is concurrently clumsy, obstinately serious and foolishly absurd. In his epic about the world’s wealthiest tycoon, a troubled author and an Indian legend about a child of stones, Majewski brings shame to the eccentric masters of world cinema, such as Ed Wood, Damon Packard, Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau. Valley of the Gods has become the undisputed holder of the title of the Most Bizarre Film of this year's Film Market in Berlin, where a leading candidate for first place was a promo for the French mainstream high-concept film L’origine du monde about a guy whose heart stops and a witch tells him that he must look at his 60-year-old mother's vagina or else he will die within three days.
