The year is 1946 – a Poland plunged into chaos, with the new government yet to stabilize. The protagonist, Andrzej Kmita, is a young lieutenant in the Polish Army, eager to take his final high school exams and lead a normal life. However, he cannot forget his past – associated with the Home Army during the war, he is now forced to fight alongside his former comrades.
