After the invasion of Poland in 1939, Stalin executed over 20,000 Polish officers and other members of the country's intelligentsia. This massacre continued to haunt the minds of the Poles as they were forced to keep their mouths shut through the Cold War era. This extremely powerful and matter-of-fact drama depicts the events from the viewpoint of a few families.
