Stach is a wayward teen living in squalor on the outskirts of Nazi-occupied Warsaw. Guided by an avuncular Communist organizer, he is introduced to the underground resistance—and to the beautiful Dorota. Soon he is engaged in dangerous efforts to fight oppression and indignity, maturing as he assumes responsibility for others’ lives. A coming-of-age story of survival and shattering loss, A Generation delivers a brutal portrait of the human cost of war.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stark, unflinching portrait of adolescence forged in the Warsaw ghetto under Nazi occupation, where idealism collides violently with the realities of resistance and loss. The film moves with documentary precision through moments of political awakening and intimate human connection, all shadowed by the knowledge of what cannot be survived.
