Plot
1920. After regaining independence, Poland is now seeking to stabilize the situation on the border. Marshal Józef PiÅsudski (Daniel Olbrychski) wants to create federations of independent states in the east. Polish authorities announce mobilization. Jan Krynicki (Borys Szyc), a young poet with leftist views, returns to the army. On the day of leaving for the war, he marries Ola (Natasza UrbaÅska), a beautiful actress from the revue theater. Soon Poles manage to conquer Kiev. Shortly thereafter, Jan, stationed in Ukraine, is accused of Bolshevik agitation and sentenced to death. He is unexpectedly saved from shooting by an attack by the Bolsheviks, who take him captive. After conversations with Commissioner Bykowski (Adam Ferency), Jan finally sees the real calculations of the Red Revolution. In Warsaw, meanwhile, Ola is disturbed by Captain Kostrzewa (Jerzy BoÅczak). She decides to join the army to help defend the capital against the Bolsheviks constantly pushing west.[7]
