In 1960s Poland, anti-Semitism is still rampant. A member of the Polish Secret Police uses his beautiful girlfriend to infiltrate the Jewish intellectual circles that question totalitarian rule and dream of political, social and cultural freedoms. Inspired by the life of Polish writer Pawel Jasienica, this taut, sensual thriller captures the suffocating nature of Poland under Communist rule. Adult content.
