About
The series presents an original, non-didactic view of rural Poland during the Nazi occupation, rejecting stereotypes about ubiquitous wartime heroism, sacrifice, and martyrdom. It is a record of a "war-torn" state of consciousness, a drama of lost people who sink into ever greater degradation.
