A Polish diving accident, false accusations, and a love triangle underwater? Chaos awaits.
Diver Antoni Barnat is falsely accused of causing an accident underwater that almost led to his fellow diver's death. Interestingly enough, they are both in love with the same girl, Teresa.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ewa and Czesław Petelski were a rare husband-wife directing team in communist-era Polish cinema, often collaborating on genre films.
This marked early exposure for Zbigniew Cybulski, who would become Poland's iconic 'Polish James Dean' before his tragic death in 1967.
