A Generation
Directed by Andrzej Wajda
Produced by Wytwórnia Filmów Fabularnych we Wrocławiu
A stark coming-of-age drama set in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, following a wayward youth's moral awakening through resistance work and romantic connection amid systemic oppression.
Stach is a wayward teen living in squalor on the outskirts of Nazi-occupied Warsaw. Guided by an avuncular Communist organizer, he is introduced to the underground resistance—and to the beautiful Dorota. Soon he is engaged in dangerous efforts to fight oppression and indignity, maturing as he assumes responsibility for others’ lives.
