The last canonical work of the Polish Film School deals with the personal dilemmas of soldiers as WWII draws to an end. Does it make sense to fight till the very last moment when the result of war is clear anyway? This close adaptation of a short story by Józef Hen asks the question of war heroism from a rationalist's point of view. (Summer Film School)
