Producer’s Synopsis: “A story of Polish officers murdered by the NKVD in Katyń during World War II. A picture of women unaware of the crime, who were waiting for their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. An uncompromising reckoning with the lie of the communist powers, that was to order Poland to forget those who were killed. A film about an invincible struggle for the memory and truth.
The beginning of WW II. After the Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland, following Joseph Stalin's order, on September 17, 1939, also units of the Red Army trespassed on Polish soil. Consequently, all Polish officers found themselves in Soviet slavery. Anna, the wife of an Uhlan Regiment captain is waiting for her man, and receives all obvious evidence of his having been murdered by the Russians. The wife of a general, in April 1943, learns of her husband's death after the Germans discovered mass graves of Polish officers in the Katyń Forest.…”
