Based on a true story reflecting the Stalinist terror of the early 1950's, Ryszard Bugajski's harrowing film was banned under martial law in Poland and only became available on underground VHS through a copy smuggled out by the director at great risk. Tonia (Krystyna Janda), a singer in a sleazy cabaret, is imprisoned without explanation. Days became weeks became months, varied only by the persuasion, intimidation and torture of interrogation. Janda's outstanding depiction takes you to places few films are willing to explore.
