Film Synopsis

Stach is a wayward teen living in squalor on the outskirts of Nazi - occupied Warsaw. Guided by an avuncular Communist organizer, he is introduced to the underground resistance - and to the beautiful Dorota. Soon he is engaged in dangerous efforts to fight oppression and indignity, maturing as he assumes responsibility for others' lives. A coming - of - age story of survival and shattering loss, A Generation delivers a brutal portrait of the human cost of war.

Available only as part of the Andrzej Wajda: Three War Films Box Set
