Storyline

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.

It's a highly and idiosyncratically stylized version of the dramatic events in Poland that led to the formation of the Solidarity union.

The film is shot in a mechanical way, which makes it a bit monotonous. However, the script never loses interest. [Full Review in Spanish]
