This award-winning World War II drama is a harrowing tale of survival. Rose's husband is killed in the war, leaving her alone on their remote farm. A single woman had no defense against Russian soldiers, nor against plundering Poles. The law of the jungle had replaced the rule of law. But help arrives when a former officer in the Polish Home Army, who survived the Warsaw uprising, wishes to hide his identity.
