He meets the harassed laborer son (Radziwilowicz) of worker-hero Birkut, against whom Opania is expected to conduct a smear campaign, and finds his loyalties tested. Seamlessly weaving documentary and fictional footage, has given us a remarkable synthesis of art and history in the Making. The impact is unforgettable.
