Synopsis
The film reports the tragic fate of thousands of Silesians who have been taken away far into the USSR in 1945. They were interned under the pretence of civil work and forced to work as slaves in Russian mines and Steelworks. Only every fifth of the interned Silesians came back to Poland. The others did not survive the hunger and harsh working conditions. In the film, the story of the Silesian is told by eyewitnesses, their children and grandchildren.
