About film:

The Second World War. Spring 1944. Salamander, an old diplomat and a young commando Marek are parachuted into Nazi-occupied Poland. Salamander presents Churchill’s proposal to the leaders of the Polish underground: An agreement with the Soviets that will give Russia half of the territory of pre-war Poland, inhabited by ethnic minorities – Ukrainians, Belarusians and Latvians – but will allow the truncated country to maintain its independence. However, the diplomat is considered a traitor, poisoned and, as a result, paralyzed. What’s worse, betrayal is lurking everywhere – even Marek’s fiancée turns out to be a Soviet agent… Desperate Marek saves Salamander, taking him by plane to London along with the German V-2 rocket (captured by Polish intelligence). However, due to the delay, they reach Churchill too late. The Red Army has already entered Poland and a communist puppet government is established, completely subordinated to the Soviets.
