Highlights

When in winter 1970 sections of the population of Gdynia take to the streets to protest against lay-offs and massive price increases, the Polish milita and police react with ferocious brutality. Evoking an atmosphere of latent tension and sporadic outbursts of violence, Antoni Krauze reconstructs the bloody events of that December and also shows the devastation a situation verging on civil war brings to an entire family.
