This intense war film offers a sweeping portrayal of the inaugural battle of World War II. The Battle of Westerplatte, which commenced on September 1, 1939, is etched in history as the event that signaled the start of the Second World War in Europe. For a week, a small contingent of fewer than 200 Polish soldiers withstood relentless German attacks, becoming a symbol of defiance. Amidst the chaos, a personal conflict arises between two Polish leaders, each with differing views on how to guide their troops. As the carnage continues, they face a critical dilemma: should they fight to the last man or capitulate against insurmountable odds? This narrative unfolds as a powerful examination of the struggle against oppressive forces.
