Young and madly in love, Hania and Janek get caught up in the 1968 student protests
of unlawful expulsion of their colleagues from their university while the Polish government
ramps up the anti-Zionist campaign that will lead to the repression of Jews across
Poland. To complicate matters, Janek is the son of one of the high-level officers
tasked with overseeing the raids on the students, while Hania is Jewish. Feeling like
Romeo and Juliet trapped in a country overwhelmed by rebellion, they fight to stay
together, no matter the cost.
In Polish, with subtitles.
Produced by Wojciech Widelski. Edited by Rafal Listopad. Director of Photography:
Arkadiusz Tomiak. A Film It and elewizja Polska production, from Menemsha Films.
