The tale about last years of the legendary Home Army commander, General August Emil Fieldorf "Nil".

Łukaszewicz's stillness burns hotter than any shouting.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fieldorf was erased from Polish communist history; this film participated in his posthumous rehabilitation. Bugajski himself was censored under the same regime.
Shot in actual Łódź locations where Fieldorf was imprisoned. Some extras were former political prisoners.
