Synopsis:

On the last day of WW II, young member of the resistance, Maciek, gets the order to kill the communist leader Szczuka. Even though during the war they belonged to different ideological groups, they had a common cause: fight against the Germans. Therefore, Maciek experiences a moral dilemma: should he carry out the order or not? In this film with attractive visuals, cinematography and editing, the director exhibits his tendency to symbolism.
