Plot
In the summer of 1944, the Red Army advances from the east in the direction of Warsaw. For that reason, the Home Army launches a revolt against the German occupying force.
The underground fighter Stefan joins the armed uprising. He loves nurse Ala, but at the same time he has feelings for an underground fighter named Kama. When the uprising is crushed, with heavy casualties and whole city destroyed, both women are killed. Stefan saves himself by retreating to an island in the Vistula River, where he had taught Ala how to swim. As he arrives, he ostensibly sees her there, but in the end, he sits alone.
