In 1983, communist Poland is shaken by the case of high school student Grzegorz Przemyk, who is beaten to death by police. The only witness of the beating becomes the number one enemy of the state.

Poland, 1983. Despite the suspension, the martial law imposed by the communist authorities, aimed at suppressing the Solidarity opposition, is still in force in the country. On May 12, Grzegorz Przemyk, son of the opposition poet Barbara Sadowska, is arrested and badly beaten by a police patrol. Przemyk dies after two days of agony. The only witness to the fatal beating is one of Grzegorz's colleagues, Jurek Popiel, who decides to fight for justice and to testify against the police. Initially, the state apparatus, including the Ministry of the Interior, downplays the case. However, when over 20 thousand. People will march through the streets of Warsaw behind Przemyk's coffin, the authorities decides to use any tools against the witness and the deceased's mother to discredit them and prevent Jurek from testifying in court.—G

In the communist police state of Poland in the 1980s, the young poet Grzegorz Przemyk, who is celebrating passing his school-leaving exams with his friend Jurek Popiel, is arrested on the street in Warsaw for no reason. They are ordered to show their identity cards, but Grzegorz refuses to obey martial law. Because of his resistance, he is brutally beaten up by the police. It remains unclear who dealt him the final, fatal blow. The only eyewitness is Jurek Popiel, who decides to fight for justice and bring the police to justice. The state apparatus, including the Ministry of the Interior, initially underestimates the extent of the incident. At the funeral, however, an impressive demonstration of solidarity by 20,000 people in Warsaw shows the broad support - and the BBC reports on the true background to the crime throughout Europe. The authorities then decide to use all available means against the witness and against Grzegorz's mother, the opposition poet Barbara Sadowska, in order to intimidate her and prevent Jurek from testifying in court.—Arte
