Overview

During the last few days of the Warsaw Uprising following World War II, a modest group of Resistance members remains. The band must take refuge in the sewers under the orders of leader Zadra, but it's only a matter of time before they will have to emerge.

Despite their attempts stay resolute through immense mental strain, it becomes increasingly apparent that they may be doomed.
