An energetic, uncompromising young female film student in Krakow carrying a handheld camera investigates the rise and sudden erasure of Mateusz Birkut, a heroic 1950s Stakhanovite bricklayer celebrated in monumental marble statues who fell from Communist Party favor after defending an imprisoned friend. Andrzej Wajda's Cannes FIPRESCI Prize-winning political explosive that foresaw the Solidarity revolution starring Krystyna Janda and Jerzy Radziwiłowicz.
