An interesting and innovative approach to the paradox of the well-developed German culture as compared to the barbarian cruelty and brutal attempts at imposing dictatorship upon Europe and the whole world. The film is a great illustration of social moods in the first days following the outbreak of World War II. The main character – Garbiel is played spectacularly by Bronisław Pawlik who is just beginning his great career as an actor. The music was composed by Janusz Maksymiuk.
