SYNOPSIS

Warsaw 1983. The son of an activist close to Solidarność is beaten to death by the police. Lies threats: the totalitarian regime of General Jaruzelski will try by all means to prevent the holding of a fair trial.

The true story of one of the most dramatic crimes related to martial law in Poland – the assault and battery that led to the death of young Grzegorz Przemyk by the national militia. The attempted cover-up of the affair by the communist authorities between 1983-1984 led to an unprecedented popular uprising and was the precursor to the fall of Polish power.

Loosely adapted from “Leave no traces the case of Grzegorz Przemyk” by Cezary Lazarewicz.
