Poland, 1981. A country on the verge of an unraveling revolution, with communist authorities willing to do whatever it takes to suppress it. General Wojciech Jaruzelski announces a historic decision on national television: Martial Law is imposed in communist Poland on December 13. The next day, tanks take to the streets. Soldiers control the cities, enforce a curfew, and the army pacifies the striking workers. State-controlled journalists try to discredit the opposition led by Lech Wałęsa, and Solidarity members are imprisoned. Propaganda is in full swing. Rationing of goods, queueing for toilet paper, and other ridiculous attempts to kill the spirit of freedom and independence begin. Shall Poland cry over her fate or laugh about the farcical theater in which she’s the main protagonist?
