    Plot

    [edit]

    In 1941, the Polish town Kielce is occupied by the Nazis. The main character, before being sent to a concentration camp, gives her daughter to a Polish family whose child has recently died. When the war has passed, the former prisoner returns to his hometown and wants his daughter returned, but she has grown up not knowing who her real parents were. Internal contradictions and deep spiritual experiences put the heroes in a cruel situation of choice.
