Based on a script by Jerzy Stefan Stawinski, Andrzej Munk’s film draws on its author’s first-hand experience in the 1939 campaign and later Warsaw Uprising against the German army, and his multiple stints imprisoned in POW camps. Juxtaposing a group of incarcerated Polish officers against a bon-vivant who participates in the combat, the film shows the futility of the armed struggle against both Germany and Russia while exposing the idea of heroic suffering as preposterous and questioning whether there is any place at all for glory during wartime.
