A historically grounded war drama following a traumatized Polish orphan through the horrors of WWII combat, balancing intimate character perspective with the scale and brutality of a pivotal military campaign.

The story of the legendary battle through the eyes of Jedrek - a boy who went through the hell of the gulag and left Russia with the Polish Army as one of thousands of polish orphans. Soon a decisive attack on a monastery located on the hills of Monte Cassino is to take place at the front - this spectacular battle will decide the lives of many soldiers and the fate of the Allied offensive in Italy, and will change Jedrek's life forever.
