- Did you buy currency from him?

No

At your house we found

ten golden 20 dollar coins

Well, if you've locked me up

because of that money...

...it doesn't make sense. I never had

anything to do with that money

- I only know him by sight

- Have you been to his house?

- I was there once

- What did you do there?

We drank coffee.

He invited me for coffee

And after you drank that mint liqueur

and ate doughnuts...

...what happened then?

Who started to undress who?

Who told you about those doughnuts?

- And do you know Major Olcha?

- Yes

Well?

I don't know.

Fairly well, I suppose

He organized performances

for our group at army bases

And I knew him as well

as everyone else from the group

- Your friends didn't go to bed with him

- Neither did I

Here I have a statement

from Corporal Sokolowko...

...claiming that he discovered

you and the Major...

...in compromising circumstances

on the 15th of July, 1950

Do you want me to read it?

It was just that once

- Major, are you finishing up here?

- Yes

Sign this

- Can I take her out

- I said yes!

If I catch you lying again

I'll shoot you in the face...

...so that you'll remember it

for the rest of your life

I'm not signing anything

- What? Why won't you sign?

- I'm not signing anything

But this is a confession

Lieutenant. Once again from the start.

Her whole history

Are you going to let me out?

If it was up to me

I'd put you up against the wall...

...and shoot you

in the back of the head

- Where are you taking me?

- To a better cell

You won't be there long

Upstairs

Hi

What's your name? I'm Tonia

Mira Szejnert

Listen. What's outside this window?

- A hospital

- What are you in for?

- And you?

- Me?

For kissing boys at school

How long have you been here?

One and a half years

What do they get up to

in that hospital? Murder?

Good morning

Cell reporting.

Occupants - 2. Present - 2

Any requests?

- No

- Not today, thank you

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

- Good morning

- Praise Jesus

Is that cupboard free?

You can put it in mine

- And is that bunk free?

- No, but you can stay here

- What's your name? I'm Tonia

- Honorata

Wow.

Where did you get that from?

From home. The farm

Help yourselves

Here you are. You want some?

- What's wrong with you?

- I'm not hungry

Here you are. Would you like some?

And some bread. Here you are

Eat. You have to eat well

If you eat well,

you can get through anything

Don't worry about me.

I have a one-way ticket anyway

What are you talking about?

What did you do?

The party official came to survey

our land for collectivization

They wanted to take my land!

I took an axe to him

Well, would you hand over the land

which your father...

...and your father's father worked on?

I had to chop him up into pieces

How do you know that?

From the newspaper

General Tatar and Kirchmayer, for life

Colonels Utnik and Nowicki, 15 years

and Roman, 12 years

Illustrious people, all of them

- What's that?

- It's wheat

How could Gomulka

let such a thing happen?

I gather he's in jail too. So is the defense

minister. It was a spying network

Unbelievable

What are you doing?

Nothing is going to grow there, is it?

Where does the path lead to?

Which way do you take?

I'll never meet

the someone who I love

Who I have been waiting for

Across the peaceful river...

Letter 'D'

Letter 'D'!

For you

Please don't take me to be interrogated.

I'm so terribly tired

Don't be stupid.

Go

No, go.

Otherwise we'll all be in trouble

To which political organizations did you

belong before, during and after the war?

I didn't belong to any organization

Rubbish! You must have belonged

to the pre-war Girl Scouts

No, I didn't belong to the movement.

It never interested me

Your first lover was a soldier

in the National Army

Yes, he was but that's better

than being a Nazi, isn't it?

I'll tell you. Evidently, you were drawn

to the forces of reaction

To the underground forces of

the social right that's fighting communism

You're from a Proletariat family

so where is your class consciousness?

- Could I have a cigarette please?

- No

You only think about your own arse

Stuff your face and get laid.

That's your moral attitude to life

When others were working away for

the fatherland you were just a parasite

But I've been working

ever since I was 16

You call waving your arse about

working?

What planet are you on?

What system do we have?

What is people's power?

What country do you live in?

- Name, surname, date of birth

- Antonina Dziwisz, 1st April, 19...

Sit up straight.

How was it with Olcha?

- How was it with Olcha?

- I've told you

- That's not enough

- I don't know any more

Tell me everything in detail and you will

be allowed to go back to your cell

It was hot.

Our group was performing...

- Sit up straight, head up

- It was hot

We had accommodation in tents

And I was hot so I went out.

I saw the light of a cigarette

So I went over to smoke a cigarette

Kazimierz Olcha was there

and he asked me to go swimming

We didn't have costumes so we swam

naked, but it was completely dark

- Later we found ourselves in a lorry

- Before you said you were on the grass

And later our costumes...

- On the grass or in a car?

- I said it was in a car

You keep changing your story.

Did you fall in love with him?

No

When did you decide to have

intercourse, in the car or before?

Why are you prying

into my private business?

- Is your husband bad in bed?

- Leave him out of this

Why? For money?

Did he pay you in dollars?

- Where did he get dollars from?

- We found dollars. I don't know

Sit up! Head up!

Why did Olcha pay you dollars?

For sex or something else?

I am innocent. Why can't I get

any letters? Why can't I get a pencil?

I want to write to my husband.

Why haven't I received any parcels?

Here!

Sign

Did they kill her?

She won't die that quickly

She's OK

She hasn't broken anything.

She's just fainted

Lift her head up

Up we get. Good. You need to sit

- Look. The last piece, with garlic

- Leave her, she can't eat now

She has to eat

so she has some strength

Open your eyes. Sit up. OK?

Do you feel OK?

Letter 'S'

Hold it together

Did you sign anything?

What do you mean?

Everyone signs

Yeah, I know. But I'm innocent

It doesn't matter.

Guilty or not, you have to sign

But I haven't done anything wrong

But no one gets out

without pleading guilty

It's simply impossible

But I can get out

because I'm here by mistake

What do you mean by mistake?

They've got me mixed up

with someone else. They'll realize

But the authorities

never make mistakes

I'd advise admitting to everything

while you've still got time

Otherwise they can vaporize you

Just like they vaporized Colonel Wara

who refused to confess

And they told his family

he'd had a heart attack

But I've got nothing to confess to

So you'll have to think of something

you did wrong

But why should I have to lie?
