A
dramatic story about filial love. During the World War
II Alojzy Lysko's father was forced into the Wehrmacht
Army. As many as 300 thousand were coerced into the
German uniform from the region of the Polish Silesia.
Some were fortunate enough to cross the Western front
and join the Polish Army. Able to perish in a Polish
uniform, history remembered them with gratitude. Those
who did not have the same luck, like Lysko, perished
on the Eastern front or came back mutilated from Russian
captivity only to be forgotten. Today, a well know activist
from Silesia, Alojzy Lysko, collects narratives from
these forgotten soldiers with the hope of getting closer
to his father. On the boundless Ukrainian steppe he
finds his father's grave...
