In 1989, Europe lies under the vast shadow of the Greater German Reich, Grossdeutschland. Following their unexpected triumph in World War Two, Germany has maintained its grip over Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and segments of White Russia. The turning point? The sudden assassination of Adolf Hitler in 1943, soon after the Stalingrad defeat. This allowed the German General Staff to take control of the course of the war, conclude a separate peace with Western Allies, and fight the Soviets to a standstill on the Eastern Front. Fast forward 45 years, and Germany readies to celebrate Der Fuehrer’s 100th birth anniversary in both Berlin and Warsaw. Robert Davison, a seasoned journalist from the Atlantic Tribune, gets an invitation to Warsaw. The German administration wishes to showcase the successes and benefits of their rule in Poland. However, Zdzislawa, a passionate and patriotic young Polishwoman, and Jerzy, the son of a Resistance hero, driven by the spirit of a Resistance legend, see things differently. They’re on a mission: connect with Davison and expose the unsettling truths behind Germany’s legacy in Poland. The stage is set for contrasting tales, as past sins demand acknowledgment.
