Set on the last night of World War II and the first morning of peace, this film captures a time when the old mixed with the new, as seen through the eyes of young Polish resistance soldier Maciek Che³micki. In a few hours, the Nazi slavery of the country will end, but in its place a new Communist regime will begin. This is not the independence the idealistic young man and his brothers-in-arms have been fighting and dying for, and Maciek is led to question whether he should continue his combat or try to regain a normal, peaceful life – a dilemma shared by the entire post-war generation in Poland
