In the last days of the Second World War, Maciek, a Polish resistance fighter, is tasked with the assassination of a Communist official. But when he meets Krystyna, he is offered a glimpse of a world beyond war and destruction, and questions his assignment.
Wajda’s classic drama, which cemented his position as a world-class filmmaker, features an iconic central performance by Zbigniew Cybulski – the ‘Polish James Dean’ – who contributes immeasurably to this probing look at the complex post-war future for a new nation and its people.
