At the end of September 1944, the tragic Warsaw Uprising was nearing its conclusion. A unit of the Polish "Home Army," led by Lieutenant Chodera (played by Wienczyslaw Glinski), was stationed in a dilapidated building. The city of Warsaw had been cut into sections by the German army, leaving composer Mikol in search of his family, forced to seek refuge among this group of 30 men. The overwhelming military disparity left the soldiers dispirited, and the sound of Mikol's piano strangely echoed over the ruins. A small German offensive quickly overwhelmed the unit, forcing everyone to retreat into the sewers. The Polish fighters wandered aimlessly through the sewers without food, while the Germans sporadically released gas. Some soldiers went mad, but many more died in the sewers. Chodera's group soon lost their sense of direction, and the soldiers became further lost in the pitch-dark sewers... This film won the Jury Prize at the 1957 Cannes Film Festival. It is the second part of director Andrzej Wajda's war trilogy.
