A dual narrative of wartime resilience that balances dark circumstances with humor and human connection, finding dignity and hope amid WWII's brutality.

Tells two tales set during WWII: A seemingly feckless and selfish man finally takes up arms in the national struggle against the Nazis. Set in a POW camp, Polish inmates cling to their hopes for an eventual escape, encouraged by the legendary escape of one of their own.
