Warsaw 44

WARSAW 44 is a story of young Poles full of life and passion. They live their lives as if each day were their last. It’s not, however, due to bravado or recklessness – this attitude is natural, considering their reality. We meet the film’s main characters – Stefan, Biedronka and Kama – shortly before fighting breaks out in the summer of 1944. Young Poles see their involvement in the underground movement as both patriotic duty and adventure under the brutal Nazi German occupation. They witness not only sacrifice and heroism, but also cruelty, betrayal and murder. They learn about love and discover what hate feels like. History teaches them a bloody and brutal lesson in growing up.
