KANAL

by Andrzej Wajda (Pologne, 1957, 1h33, vostf)

starring Teresa Izewska, Tadeusz Janczar, Wienczyslaw Glinski

It is September 1944 and the final days of the Warsaw Uprising, crushed by the German occupier. Surrounded, a detachment of men and women commanded by Lieutenant Zadra take to the sewers in order to reach the city centre where fighting is still going on. All of them have a story, all of them are afraid of dying, all of them really want to live.
