- Good evening! Who will give me a kiss?

- Good evening!

So sweet! So cold!

- Mariola, give me your hand.

- You're freezing!

Romek! Come Romek!

Come, come!

We stood for a while with Romek but...

I have the most important things.

- Next year Christmas Eve

will be at our place. - No, Leon.

Why not?

- We got a flat in apartment block.

- Really?

Yes! Hot water, central heating,

close to work!

Oh, bro!

Bro! Such a news!

We have to celebrate!

Here it is!

Have you lost your mind?

It's Christmas Eve!

You're right, Honey.

Children come here!

- Come here.

- The same for you!

Best wishes, honey!

All the best!

Bruno, that everything

is all right at the new place.

Stefa...

the Politbiuro of the Central Committee

of the United Polish Worker's Party

under the leadership

of Wadysaw Gomuka

introduced a huge price increase

for meat and other groceries.

The decision about the

price increase was announced.

BLACK THURSDAY:

Janek Winiewski fell

MONDAY:

Bruno, you promised to take

the laundry to the drying room.

I forgot.

And again is all on my head.

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

A piece of salceson

and half a kilo of lard.

- 22 zloty.

- How much?

It's 22.

- It increased so much! - It is not me

who decides about the price increase!

Not only it's all so expensive

but also there is nothing to buy!

If our husbands don't do anything

with that, I won't let mine to our bed!

Me neither! He can do whatever

he wants! And you'd better listen!

- Goodbye! - What for you?

- A piece of kaszanka and some bones.

Kids, open the door!

Daddy!

- Did you behave well?

- I just have to finish unpacking.

- All right.

Stefa, I am not working tomorrow.

The port stopped.

What happened?

In Gdask, shipyard workers strike in

the streets There were some fightings.

- You haven't heard anything?

- They didn't say anything on the radio.

And probably they won't say.

It is because of these

Gomuka's price increase.

Everything is so expensive!

What are they doing? What kind of

Christmas is it going to be?

Stefa, everything will be all right.

Now we will buy new furniture,

we will pay off the flat.

I will buy the cab.

Yes, I will be a taxi driver.

You will see how wealthy we will be!

Look what we got from Bolek.

Ham.

- Make me a sandwich.

- No, no, no, the ham is for Christmas.

But look what is for dinner.

- Where did you get the money?

- The lodger payed his rent for December.

Such things!

Great!

- It is for you.

- No, I cannot.

- Romek will find it.

- Come one, it is only a pen.

No.

All right, but at least...

- have a beer. All the best.

- Thank you.

Are you staying with us

for Christmas?

They are talking that

all cruises will be cancelled.

Nobody knows nothing.

- There are some unrest in Gdask.

Militia and army divisions

are in the streets.

- Good morning Jzef!

- Good morning.

My friend from Gdask visited me.

He talked to a soldier who said

that they had come here

to fight with the hitlerites.

Gdynia joined in.

I will go to see. I'll come to you

in the evening to tell you.

All right.

Come!

Do you want something like this?

I have no authorization

to proceed any

combining negotiations.

We understand that but

we need to find a solution.

I can only be an intermediary

in handing over your demands.

But remember -

do not destroy the city.

This is polish city.

My name is Hulsz Edmund.

I am from Dalmor.

We need a reassurance

that our strike is official and legal.

You can see that I concede it.

But remember, the soviet armada

may be flowing here now.

The board is not so far away

and they can shoot.

Consider what you are doing.

Let's talk.

What are your demands?

When we lived near Sierakowice,

he was coming back from the night shift,

was sleeping three hours

and was going back to work.

Sometimes,

where there were no trains,

he was not coming home at all

and was sleeping at the train station.

Now, Mr Bolek,

everything has changed.

The way to work is short,

only two train stops.

We only have to pay off

the apartment, buy new furniture.

Do you want some more tea?

Thank you, Mrs Stenia,

but I have to go.

We are preparing the New Years's Eve

party at the ferry.

- Lot's of work. Thank you!

- Goodbye.

All right, slowly.

Look!

Up...

Look over there! There!

That is where Dad goes to work.

And there we will go...

when the weather is warmer.

We have signed up the agreement!

Our strike is officially legal!

President Mariaski promised that

he would get our demands over to the

deputy prime minister Kocioek.

Including the one of the most

important demands.

An adjustment of

the workers' salaries

to the level of the price increases.

Vivat!

Where's Daddy?

He is lost!

Bruno!

Bruno! You and your jokes!

Come here, baby.

Make us some food, we are hungry.

Great! Bravo!
