Summary:
"On the last day of World
War
II in a small town somewhere in Poland, the exiles of
war
and the occupying Soviet elite confront the beginning of a new day and a new Poland. From this incendiary environment emerges Home Army soldier Maciek Chelmicki. Chelmicki has now been hired to assassinate an incoming commissar, but a mistake stalls his progress and introduces him to Krystyna, a beautiful barmaid who gives him a glimpse of what his life could be. Gorgeously photographed and brilliantly performed,
Ashes
and
Diamonds
masterfully interweaves the fate of a nation with that of one man, resulting in one of the most important Polish
films
of all time."--Container.
