Beautiful, deep and touching Polish movie. It tells a story of the man breaking established rules and his own limitations in order to save other people lives. All of these told without exaggeration. Well constructed movie based on facts with a highly convincing main protagonist played by Tomasz Kot. I recommend this to anyone hungry for real emotions, fascinating stories, beautiful visuals and music.
