However, his joy is fleeting, as he becomes embroiled in a crucial mission: to eliminate a high-ranking official of the new communist government, a target marked by a resistance list.
Maciek is a character caught between two worlds; his loyalty to his cause and his humanity lead him to question the morality of what is being asked of him.

As the echoes of war resonate in his mind, the story culminates in an explosive climax that will not only affect his life but the fate of all those around him. It is a poignant portrait of sacrifice and the search for identity amidst chaos.
