Synopsis

This is a voice of a sovereign state that had the fourth largest army in the war, suffered the greatest losses and was the only one to fight in the conflict from the first to the last day. Without the Polish perspective one cannot fully understand the course and consequences of World War II. The film's premiere was held on the 15th of September, ahead of the 78th anniversary of Soviet invasion. It showed key moments of Poles' fifty year long fight for freedom. These efforts are presented by a character, who on one hand is a universal symbol of the struggle, and on the other, refers to iconic historical figures such as Capt. Witold Pilecki, Irena Sendler or Witold Urbanowicz. Some of these heroes appear for the first time in modern cinematography: eg. Gen. Stanislaw Maczek, Jan Karski and Marian Rejewski.
