Józef Kuraś - "Ogień/Fire" - who came from a strong highland family, was born in 1915 and lived in Waksmund. In just four years (1943 - 1947) he became first the brightest and then the most sombre legend of the Tatra Mountains. From his hatred of the Nazis, who murdered his family, through his membership in the Home Army, his "love affair" with the People's Republicans and his "career" in the UB, he arrived at an attitude of extreme opposition to communist rule and, to the end of his admittedly short life (in 1947 he was only 32 years old), he fought with his loyal squad against the people's power.

The social and independence ferment triggered in the fall of 1980 by Solidarity created an opportunity for dialogue between the nation and the ruling communists. Dialogue, not force. As always, students quickly joined the "rebellion and pressure." They wanted autonomy for Polish universities and their own independent representation, as well as sovereignty, without the "leading role of the party." When these dreams were not fulfilled, at the beginning of 1981, students at the University of Łódź went on their first long strike, which ended in success, and when martial law was declared in December 1981, the same students rushed to protest in the form of an occupation strike, which ended in pacification. The film consists of statements by the protagonists and witnesses of those events, archival footage, and staged sequences.

Bronek Pekosinski lives in Zamosc, Poland. He is probably 83 years old. He has no family and does not really know who he is. Everything about his life is fictitious: symbolic is the date of birth - the day World War II broke out, as well as his surname - after PKOS, an abbreviation of a charitable institution, and the place of birth - the Nazi concentration camp, from where his mother threw him over a barbed wire fence. Even his friends and guardians turned out to be false. Only his loneliness and his hump seem to be authentic. Two great powers have vied for young Bronek's soul: Roman-Catholic church and a totalitarian state. He fell into alcoholism. Partially paralyzed as the effect of cerebral hemorrhage, he is fired with an ambition of acquiring a mastery in a game of chess.

The scientists speaking in the film make it clear that hundreds of people in institutes around the world worked together in working groups on the digital breakthrough. In Poland, we did not have advanced equipment, but scientific thought did not differ in level from the West. Parallel to the political events - the Solidarity strikes, the Round Table talks, the dismantling of the Eastern Bloc - a digital revolution was taking place.
