Story

Synopsis

The year is 1981, a month before the imposition of martial law. At the "Metalpol" plant, where almost the entire Szostak family works, fierce and dramatic discussions and games are taking place. Karol Szostak, who is uncompromising but moderate in his actions, is elected chairman of the industry trade union. Solidarity members demand his dismissal. Despite the strike, declared at the behest of the region, Szostak, along with others, joins the work force. He is taken away in a wheelbarrow from the plant where he has worked for 46 years.
