In Warsaw in 1980, the Communist Party sends disgruntled radio reporter Winkel to Gdańsk to dig up dirt on the shipyard strikers - particularly on Maciek Tomczyk, an independent labour union leader whose father was killed in the December 1970 protests. Posing as sympathetic, Winkel interviews the people surrounding Tomczyk, including his detained wife, Agnieszka.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally complex portrait of resistance in Solidarity-era Poland, where a propagandist assigned to undermine a labour leader finds his certainties challenged through intimate conversations with those he came to betray. The film is as much about conscience as it is about politics.
