Liberated from a Nazi concentration camp, a young poet (Daniel Olbrychski) and other survivors find themselves forced into a detention center run by the Allies. There the poet meets a Jewish girl (Stanisława Celińska) who asks him to escape with her to the West -- an idea he has trouble processing amid the recently experienced horrors, as well as his lingering rage toward the Germans. But in his indecisiveness, he risks losing the woman who loves him as well as what's left of his humanity.

Audience Member Hard-hitting diatribe on survival and revenge. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Overdramatic and much like a silent movie at times; often symbolic. but mostly boring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Wajda certainly knows what to do with a camera, and this film contains cinematography almost as fine as Kanal. But the main character is a smug twit, the acting is rather dreadful and the script is overwritten. I also gotta say these are the healthiest looking holocaust survivors I've ever seen. There could be a great movie here, as some interesting post-war themes are explored, but the overblown speeches and poor performances pretty much ruin it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member stunning. even more interesting since it doesn't actually show holocaust but presents the life after. and that's rare. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member is there a life after the Holocaust? Wajda's vision of the immediate post-war times (based on t.Borowski's memoirs) and a great performance by Olbrychski Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member una pelicula que nos hace repensar continuamente lo que estamos viviendo y a la vez nos hace sentir voyeristas de nuestra propia realidad Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
