A compelling love story set at a time in Polish history few Americans know about: the virulent wave of antisemitism that swept the country already caught up in the cross-European student uprisings of Spring, 1968. Against this backdrop, Polish university students Hania and Janek meet and fall in love. When Hania's Jewish parents experience the emotional and financial distress of losing their jobs in the purge, and she herself is detained and threatened in the government crackdown, the young couple's love is tested by the high cost of freedom. With Vanessa Aleksander and Ignaci Liss. Trailer

Post-film conversation with Cape Elizabeth resident Piotrek Stamieszkin, who lived through this time in Poland.
