Warsaw, beloved Warsaw
I see you in my dreams
With your joyful people
And beautiful streets
You call me with longing
With your songs and words
Oh, how I would like to see you
again today
Oh, my dreamed of Warsaw
Oh, how I would like to see you
again today
Oh, my dreamed of Warsaw
Thanks for the song, my boy
Thanks for your heart and song
Do you like it?
INTERROGATION
Wake up, Tonia,
or we'll be late for the rehearsal
Guess, my sweetie,
what there is inside my soul
Caress your pussycat
who's a bit of this and a bit of that
Partly sweet, partly mean,
partly slave, partly queen
Guess, my sweetie,
what there is inside my soul
And if you guess right, I'll say yes
Yes, yes
Oh, yes
Yes
Guess, my sweetie,
what there is inside my soul
Caress your sweet one's head
She's a little good and a little bad
I'm mysterious, exotic
or a strange kind of bird
Guess, my sweetie,
what there is inside my soul
And if you guess I'll say yes
Yes!
Yes, yes, yes
Yes
OF GREAT OCTOBER
- What's the matter, Tonia?
- Nothing
- Where's my beard?
- What a dump!
Tonia!
Where is my beard?
My God, it's cold here
Get dressed, Tonia.
Let's go straight home
I'm not going home.
Do you understand?
Get dressed.
Put something on
- Get away from me, please!
- What happened?
Go back to feeling Junia up
Junia?
What are you on about?
- I saw
- Get dressed!
I'm not going anywhere.
I saw what you were up to with Junia
But darling, she's your best friend
You were being too friendly by half
I saw the play you were making for her
I'll go home on my own
Go, then. I don't need your lousy coat
This is ridiculous
Tonia. Goodbye
Excuse me
This is for you
Me and my friend
are big fans of yours
Could we possibly
invite you for a drink?
Come and meet Tonia
We'd really like it if you came with us
What do you say?
The Trumanillo Circus
Shall we take a taxi?
- Kaz, I'm going, OK? See you
- See you at tomorrow's rehearsal?
- Who's he?
- My friend, Kaz Olcha
Drink, girl. Drink!
Please, I can't drink any more
- Cheers!
- I can't drink any more!
Oh, God. I'm drunk
Do you know my husband?
Tell me. Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Do you know my husband?
- Yes, I know him
- My husband is the best guy ever
But let's drink
- Here's to my husband!
- To your husband
Let's have a smoke
Ada, you're misbehaving
Ada, you must be raving
It can't be like this
Hard luck
Thanks for taking me out, boys!
Really
Cos if it weren't for you
I would have cried all evening
You see, we had an argument.
But what for?
My husband will be worried
with me coming home late
The name of my street is Widok.
Will you remember, Widok 6?
Quickly
Hey!
- Quickly!
- We're going
Here we are
Come on
Why did you drink so much?
See you, boys
Name and surname?
Surname?
Leave me
Undress her!
Excuse me. Have you seen a red
handbag? It's leather with a white strap
They take all handbags
Get up or you'll be in for it
from the head of cell
But... Oh, God, what time is it?
Excuse me
Line up straight there.
Hurry up
Is there a phone somewhere
that I can use?
- My husband doesn't know I'm here
- Calm down!
I'm an artiste. I have to perform
in the theatre this evening
I've got a performance. If I'm late...
Cell reporting.
Occupants - 31. Present - 31
Excuse me
Be quiet
- Hey, listen. Be quiet
- Let go
Listen. My name is Antonina Dziwisz.
Tell someone to come and talk to me
Tell someone to come and talk to me.
Do you hear?
Be quiet or I'll bite you
Stupid woman
Be quiet
Letter 'D'
No
No
They're letting me out.
Wake up
Letter 'D'!
Karmelicka Street, what number?
OK, don't worry.
I'll talk to them. Bye
They're letting me out. Antonina Dziwisz
Bye!
Don't you know
you can't say your surname aloud?
Sorry
Stay there
Good morning
Reporting Antonina Dziwisz
I'm very pleased that
you wanted to...
There's a stool there
You see, I'm really glad
that you summoned me
I've already asked the guards
several times for...
...someone to take me to an officer
or to somebody
- Name and surname?
- Antonina Dziwisz
Born 1st April, 1926 in Lwow
Daughter of Jadwiga
and Stanislaw, yes?
Yes
Damn drawer
Excuse me
It's always getting stuck
Above all,
I'd like to know...
...if my husband's been informed.
You see, I haven't done anything
You've definitely got me mixed up
with someone else
You know how it is.
You don't know who to look for...
...what the surname is or who it is
Yeah, so tell me now about yourself
But about what specifically?
Everything
Well, I don't think you want to hear me
talk about the boys I kissed at school
Why not?
Go on, talk
But about what?
About kissing at school
Look, maybe you could
really tell me what's going on
I haven't done anything.
I'd really like to help you but...
I don't know.
I've been kept here for so long
No one wants to talk with me.
No one has explained anything...
This really is a waste of time
Don't worry. There's plenty of time
Don't you believe that
I haven't done anything?
- Sorry
- It's OK
One thing at a time.
Just like confession in church
He had red hair and a big nose
- You're interested in that?
- Yes
Who?
- The one I kissed
- Did you kiss him or did he kiss you?
What does it matter?
- When did you lose your virginity?
- A long time ago
Why do you need to know? What has
it got to do with me being arrested?
- Who was it?
- Who? Oh, that one. An insurgent
- Is he alive?
- No
He died from that poisoned homemade
vodka which the Germans left
- Did he rape you?
- Why would he have raped me?
I wanted it as much as he did
You like those kind of things, don't you?
And you don't?
Listen. Have you been to our baths?
We can give you a bath
that you'll never forget
I don't understand why I have to talk.
Those are my private matters
No, they're not.
You're here to answer questions
For every question I ask
I want a clear truthful answer!
OK. Let's go. The surnames
of all the men you've slept with
I don't remember surnames
During the uprising and after the war
nobody used their surname
- That man in the Rising?
- I can't remember
His codename was "Boar"
- That's all I remember
- Continue
Later we were taken to Pruszkow.
I lived in an attic in a house there
A boy lived there
but I don't remember his name
Lysiak or something.
I don't remember
One time I went up to the attic
He reared pigeons.
He was taking eggs from the nest
And I came in and...
Yes, go on
Well, can't you imagine?
Later, after you left Pruszkow
Later in Lodz there was one.
He was called Tarassini
Well, his real surname was Gorka
- And everyone called him...
- Next
And then there was my husband,
Konstanty Dziwisz
- Did you cheat on him?
- No
- What's it to you anyway?
- I'm asking
I don't mind telling you everything.
I just need to know why
Do you know Witold Lemanski?
Yes
- Did you sleep with him?
- No
He says otherwise
- Well, if you know better...
- 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?
Why should I make something up?
Why do they need a false confession?
You must understand
that it's not your business
The authorities
know what they're doing
There's a fierce class battle going on
The enemy could be lurking
where you'd least expect
We have to be on our guard
Any weapon that advances victory
is acceptable
Every one. You have to understand that
But I'm sitting in prison,
totally innocent
Why should I care about all that?
Listen, it won't always be like that
In five, ten years
when we overcome our enemies...
...our methods will change.
Then it'll be completely different
Wouldn't you like your children to live
in a different, just and safe world?
But this can't be done without martyrs.
It just can't
And would you agree to be such
a martyr and sit in prison, innocent?
I'm an American spy
A real spy?
But not subjectively
All my life
I've always been a communist
I am an objective spy
I was found out
and I confessed immediately
I don't understand what that means
It was like this.
Comrades from the Central Committee...
...asked me to take
a certain American around Poland
He pretended to be a communist
but later it turns out...
...that he was working for his intelligence
and I showed him everything
All our new projects -
steelworks, mines, airports...
He passed the information on
to Washington and I helped him to do it
But you didn't do it on purpose.
You didn't know
That's what I mean.
Subjectively I'm not a spy
But objectively I did the work of a spy
And I have to suffer
the punishment for that
Konstanty!
I think it's high time
you had a wash
Jesus, stop splashing that water.
Remember you're not alone in this cell
Wash
Please wash yourself.
Comb your hair
You know they just want you to behave
like an animal and not like a human
Get away from me!
You're behaving like they want you to
My God! My God!
A year ago I did exactly the same
Get away from me! I told you!
You've wasted all that water
Yeah! So he goes,
"You're better off selling everything...
"...the land, the cows, the horses
and we'll go to Brazil
"We'll set up home there,
have kids there...
"...because here those bastards
will take everything off you"
I'd love to go to Brazil
One guy was in France
and he didn't like the food there at all
Why?
There was no brown bread just white
stuff for breakfast. Who'd eat that?
I'd like some white bread rolls
I said, "Do you think I'd leave the land...
"...my father and his father
worked on their whole lives?
"I'm not so stupid as to let them steal
it from me." He got furious
He went to the barn.
Got drunk and didn't get up for two days
Listen
Have I told you about when we went
with Kaz Olcha to Ostroda for a show?
- No
- Well, I'll tell you
One day, suddenly, they gave us
an order to go to Ostroda for a show
Kaz Olcha, Junia,
our wardrobe person...
...and of course this is after
a performance - we got so drunk
Totally wasted.
Junia is tripping over her own legs
There's this field.
Kaz Olcha is smashed
There are tanks, cars and cannons there
So Junia, totally pissed,
says that she wants to get into a tank
She wanted to get into the tank
so I wanted to as well
We'd never been in a tank
so I get into this tank
Don't sit there on the bunk
So... where was I?
So I get into this tank and what do you
want to do? Shoot, don't you?
I was so drunk so I go, "OK let's shoot
as we're in a tank. Why not?"
So Kaz goes, "Let's load it",
and he shows us how to load it
I didn't know
you have to pull a lever or something
And so we fire a shot -
it shakes the whole training ground
We look up. An alarm has been raised -
whistles, sirens, soldiers start running...
...and getting into some lorries.
Others are getting dressed
They must have thought
some war was breaking out
Eventually we stagger out
and take a look
It turns out the round was live
and it hit the communal lavatory
Shit was splattered everywhere
Soldiers were running
all over the place splattered in shit
And getting into those lorries
Of course, Junia and I stank so badly
for two weeks...
...that we couldn't go on stage
Have you got a cigarette?
I would like to make an amendment
to my previous confession
All right
I said I slept with those men
just for the hell of it but that's not true
All of those men meant a lot to me
When I was giving those details
I forgot about the most important thing
- About love?
- Feelings
Well, apart from the pigeon bloke
because I just felt sorry for him
- You're up to something again
- No, really
So you're saying
that apart from the pigeon bloke...
...there was a bond
with all those you slept with
- They all meant a lot to you, right?
- Yes
Can you tell me how much
Olcha meant to you?
- No...
- Just a second
For example, what would you
be prepared to do for him?
I've told you everything.
Now I want to know why I was arrested
OK
Do you know what
the highest form of punishment is?
- I know
- Are you sure?
Death
So let's say you had a choice -
Olcha or a bullet in the head
- What would you choose?
- I'd prefer to live
So, Olcha doesn't really mean
that much to you then does he?
You must understand that if you help us
we'll also help you
We can, for example,
appeal for leniency when sentencing
But sentencing for what?
You have to tell us
everything about Olcha
Who he met with, what you talked about,
down to the tiniest detail
But I only talked to him
about my personal affairs
If I'm to talk about my private matters
they won't be private any more
You've already said
how you slept with one guy after another
One ought to be consistent
But everything I've said
can't hurt anyone, at worst, me
How do you know
that what you said could hurt Olcha?
Well, I don't know how you'll use it
I promise you that
whatever you say will stay between us
- Your husband won't find out either
- Leave my husband out of this
OK, I'll be honest with you
But I also want you to be honest, OK?
OK, I've wavered a bit, but how
do I know you're telling the truth?
I give you my word
that I'll tell you the whole truth
Well, all right then
- I have your word?
- You have my word
But I warn you
that this is a matter of public interest
Olcha has been unmasked
by the security services
He's charged with
the most serious of crimes
Betrayal of his country. Spying for
Western countries - sabotage
- Kaz?
- Oh, yes
But that's impossible
- You'd think so
- But that really is impossible
He was arrested
with all his accomplices
Right! How did the plot begin?
But I'm telling you, there was no plot
We are dealing with a plot
when three people are talking in a room
When a fourth person comes in they go
quiet so those three are part of a plot
But nobody went quiet
when I entered a room
You too were part of a plot.
The same one as Olcha
What plot?
We were just a group of friends
We met up, drank vodka, told jokes.
Don't you have friends like that?
Anyway, if you'd known Kaz
you would understand that...
...he was just a cheerful, lovely guy
who loved life, drinking vodka, girls
And above all he's my friend
You call someone who betrays
their country a friend?
- I believe him more than you
- That's why you should be shot!
That's not everything. You took part
in the destruction of army buildings
What buildings?
Have you forgotten about the incident
at the training ground in Ostroda?
- Who told you about that?
- Do you admit to that or not?
Was it Witkowska?
I was just telling a story in the cell
I just made it up -
a funny story to cheer things up a bit
We have cast iron evidence
OK. So shit flew everywhere
That's what happened.
But what's that got...
A communal lavatory is as important
to the army as a rifle
You weakened the defensive power
of our fatherland
You were working
in favor of Western imperialism
We were drunk. I didn't know what was
going on. Haven't you ever been drunk?
If you sign a confession that you were
working under Olcha's orders...
...you could save your neck
But it was my idea to shoot
"Major Olcha passed an agent to me
from the Embassy..."
- I didn't say that
- But it's true. I didn't dream it up
I want to read my previous confession
You've already signed it
I'm not signing this
You know yourself
that it's not true
Not true?
Great. I haven't been able
to go to the hairdresser's here
I'll give you a cold perm
So is it true or not?
Maybe it's true?
- Yes
- Clearly. Yes or no
Yes!
Sign this
- It doesn't write
- Scribble here
It doesn't write
Dip it in this. Here, write
Damn, write!
It doesn't write. The nib is broken
For fuck's sake!
Write, you fucking slut!
BOLLOCKS
Warden! To the baths!
No. Let me go please.
You're hurting me
No!
I'm frightened
Faster
Leave her
Listen.
They've taken the peasant woman
You have to wash, don't you?
Wash and comb your hair
Not to be like an animal, you hear that?
And you've got to eat a lot
You have to eat because then you can
take anything and you have got to sign
You've got to sign and make up crimes.
The more crimes the better
Then our children will live
in such a wonderful happy world
And to every question
there must be a clear, honest answer
No!
They'll smack us in the teeth so hard
that we'll never come round
Class consciousness
is awakening in me
Do you understand that? I was stupid
enough to shoot at army installations
Shooting's too good for people like me
And you've got to belong
to all the organizations going
Quiet!
You'll keep ratting on us, won't you?
Yeah, go on, take it out on me.
Go on. I'm used to it
Communists are
always the guilty ones
Go on
What happened?
Calm down
Jesus!
What did they do to you?
Calm down
Quiet
- Reporting Antonina Dziwisz
- Thank you
Please, sit over there
- Eat
- I've just had breakfast
I know what you had for breakfast
I'm not hungry
You're being stupid
and you know it
You'll lose strength.
What do you gain by that?
You're right
What nice rolls.
Are they from the town?
- Why isn't there a knife?
- This isn't a restaurant!
I want to talk with you seriously
Every citizen is obliged
to help the security services
Think about it. Whose side are you on?
That of the traitor
or that of honest people?
That means the fatherland
that feeds you!
Why are you protecting him?
You said you only love your husband
- Why are there no napkins?
- I'm serious
My mum always said talking about
serious things when eating...
...isn't good for you
- Listen
If you cooperate with us,
if you at least show some willing...
...you'll be treated much more leniently
And what do I get? A lollipop?
- I'm serious!
- Me too!
I've got a terrible sweet tooth
You'll get permission to go out
for letters and parcels from home
- Wouldn't you like that?
- And what do you get out of it?
Promotion to Baths Unit Manager?
Don't speak to me so informally.
I'm not your friend
You are important, aren't you?
You piece of shit
Fascist slut. I've tried to be nice to you
But I'm obviously wasting my time.
The Major will teach you a thing or two
It's you who he should teach.
You believe in all this. I'm sorry for you
Major, the subject is refusing to comply
Apply a knife or a coin.
It really does help
Bring her in

"...in army bases for
the French intelligence authorities"
So?
She says black and you say white
Mira, why did you do that?
Did they force you?
Speak, did we force you?
Confess, you won't get a long sentence.
Just a few years
They forced you
I had to
- I really had to
- Warden, to the baths
What the fuck d'you mean "you had to"?
You signed it yourself. Not her
So, are you going to sign?
Don't be stupid. Sign and it's all over
and done with. Everything
The authorities aren't going to
mollycoddle sluts like you, understand?
Take your clothes off
All of them
And?
You filthy little slut
You think you can wind me up?
If you don't sign
I'll shoot you like a dog
I'll count to five
One
Two
Three
Four
Get dressed
You fucking bastards
Fucking bastards
Fucking jerks.
Pieces of shit
Pieces of fucking shit
Fucking scum
You yourselves don't believe
in all this bullshit
Fucking bastards. Sadist!
I see we have taken the wrong approach
with you but you will talk
It's just a question
of using the right method
What method can you use
to force me to do anything?
- You haven't got the imagination
- Silence!
Gestapo. Nazi
If we've taken the wrong tack with you
it's only because we're human
Gestapo!
Were the Gestapo human too?
You stupid insolent whore.
What do you know about the Gestapo?
What do you know
about concentration camps?
What do you know
about dying in a gas chamber?
I'm tired
You're not going back to the cell
until you sign
You can walk around a bit
You'll sign everything sooner or later
You've got no reason
to keep on with this
Of course, sooner would be better
if you want save your health
You've got nothing to fall back on
to give you strength
No great idea
I suppose you think you'll be a hero
No one becomes a hero
out of stupidity or by chance...
...but from dedication to a great cause.
What idea do you defend?
You want to die.
OK, but in whose name?
For whom? A traitor?
Only those guided by a great idea
will win
Those who struggle
against the tide of history have to die
And no one will remember them
It's as if we were all in a car
that's going round a corner
One wrong move and we'll all crash.
Understand that
If at this stage when our system
is still young and vulnerable
If our enemies can find
just one little crack...
...it could have terrible consequences
Try to understand
- Eat
- I can't
You can put the dumplings
in the oven, can't you?
Yes. Lift your leg higher
Stop singing
Don't bother me with that.
It'll be late
Stop singing!
I haven't got time. Yes.
See you later
Stop singing
Stop singing
or I'll smash this phone on your head
You stupid woman.
What are you playing at?
I can bring anyone off the street and
they'll admit to everything I want them to
Ada. It can't be like this
Someone's on the phone for you
- What?
- The phone upstairs
Stupid woman! What have...?
Are you trying to make a fool of me?
Nobody called
There was a call.
They must have hung up
- What's she doing here?
- She's unconscious
She has to be brought round.
She won't say anything in this state
We'll have to start from scratch
- Take care of it
- Yes, sir!
There... my sweet
See?
See?
I'm scared
Don't be scared
- I'm scared
- Don't be scared
- I'm scared. It's a dream
- What dream?
I'm scared. It's a dream!
- What dream?
- I don't want to wake up! No!
What's the time?
Five
Five in the evening
or five in the morning?
Five in the morning
I'll tell the Major that you let me sleep
And he'll replace me with someone
who won't let you
Why did you do that?
I don't want to force you to confess
I would like you to freely admit
that you are guilty
Guilty of what?
Do you believe in all this?
I would like you to understand that...
...for matters of state importance,
for general matters...
...sometimes you have to sacrifice
individual interest...
...and sometimes even friendship
Maybe you could make
such a sacrifice...
...but I really don't know anybody
who would do that or talk like this
And Mira Szejnert?
You want to convince me
that they're all pigs...
...that if they've betrayed me
I should also betray them?
You don't know my friends.
You don't know my husband
They're people who don't betray
You're still very naive
After all, there's no such thing
as an absolute honesty
In Auschwitz what was honesty for one
was utter betrayal for another
People are capable of doing
much worse things than you think
Everyone. Without exception
Were you afraid?
Yes. I was then
- I was afraid
- I'm also afraid
What of? Death?
No. Loneliness
- Do you believe in God?
- I don't know
So in whose name
are you enduring all this?
You know, I always
did badly at school
As a punishment
my parents sent me to work in Warsaw
The whole family in Lwow died
but I survived because of my punishment
After the outbreak of the uprising
I fell in love with this boy
His codename was "Boar".
At least that's what he told me
I was really taken by him
He had shiny officer's boots
and a German machine gun
He was terribly attractive
One night I got away from the bakery
and went to see him in the barricades...
We went to this flat during a bombing.
Rubble was flying everywhere
And it was really wonderful,
the very first time
I hurried back feeling guilty
that everyone was working...
...and there I was enjoying myself
But when I got back
I saw that the bakery was gone
It was just a pile of rubble.
Everyone had been killed
And you know what I think?
No matter what, in life you've got
to mess around and do things on a whim
Sensibility and obedience
are not always rewarded
Perhaps that's the only thing I believe
I want to go back to the cell
Sergeant. Here's to the birthday boy!
Vodka!
- Cigarette?
- What my dear? What's the matter?
- Shall we get her clothes off?
- Who?
- You know... her
- Give it a rest. She stinks
So she stinks. So what?
Her tits aren't bad, I've seen them
Morawski
Give the patient a drink
- It's a waste of a shot, Major
- So it's a waste. So what?
- Come here and help me
- I'm coming
Go on. Drink, little girl
Go on, drink
- Drink
- Gentlemen
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday to you...
Now she'll be sick
Don't kill me. I want to live
Let me go. I'm begging you. No!
Leave me
Name, surname. Father's name?
Name, surname, date of birth,
father's name?
- Name
- Antonina
- Surname?
- Dziwisz
- Father's name?
- Antonina
- Father's name?
- Dziwisz
Date of birth?
Date of birth?
So... are you going to sign or not?
This is your last chance
No
Shoot
Do it
Shoot!
You. Tell him to shoot me!
I can't take this any more!
Do it! Please!
These methods are crap
First some stupid breakfast.
Now some kind of theatre. What is this?
A brothel or an investigation?
Where's Mira?
They let her out
She's free
Good
I can't take this any more
Let me out of here!
Let me out! I'm innocent!
Let me out!
Mummy!
Let me out!
I would like to inform you
that I'm taking over your case
Does that make any difference to you?
How do you feel?
Warden? Come here
Tonia. How do you feel?
Are you all right?
I wrote so many letters to you.
Couldn't you reply?
What's the matter? Tonia?
You see. It's like this...
For the first few days
I didn't know what had happened
I thought you'd died
or had some accident...
I thought I was going out of my mind
Then after a couple of days
a search started
I was finally summoned
by the secret service
One of the officers explained to me
A lieutenant said
that you were suspected of espionage
I couldn't believe it.
I still don't believe it
But Tonia.
He showed me your confession
With your own signature
Tonia how could you?
You were Olcha's lover?
You slept with Wit Lemanski
There were so many others
With such coldness? So easily?
Didn't you stop to think
that I'm your husband?
I'll never forgive you
You destroyed our marriage
so thoughtlessly
So coldly and cynically
Tonia, I hate you
I hate you.
I don't ever want to see you again
That's all I really came
here for. To tell you...
...because anyway I can get
a civil divorce without your consent
That's all
Tonia, at least say that it wasn't...
That they...
Nothing?
Stand here
A parcel from your husband
Oh, gosh!
Help!
Help!
Murderers!
So she comes over to me
and gives me three packets
Three packets... she comes to me
with these kinds of things
Look. She's woken up
- Where am I?
- In heaven, Princess. Heaven
Am I in prison?
What did you think?
Of course you're in prison
- What time is it?
- Just after dinner
And it's 1952?
Maybe it is 1952.
Why should I care?
I'm here for life anyway
Do you have a mirror?
A mirror?
So you can slit your wrists again?
Take all the water from the siphon
Kiss kiss
Legs and tits
Emilia Walesiak
For you from the men's ward
Kisses on your legs
Your tits
Mira?
I thought they let you out
Yes
You're not angry with me, are you?
I don't hold anything against you
No
Mira, what's the matter with you?
Mira?
You don't recognize me, do you?
Dziwisz
Mira
Here, my Princess.
Just don't tell anyone I gave it to you
Lullaby, sweet Jesus, lullaby
Lullaby, my baby, precious and dear
Lullaby, sweet Jesus, lullaby
Your mother will cradle you
And wipe away your tear
Letter 'D'
Best wishes
Cell reporting.
Occupants - 6. Present - 6
Any requests?
Antonina Dziwisz wishes to see
the investigating officer...
...to make an important statement
Name, surname and date of birth
I wanted to tell you something in private
We have to follow protocol
with confessions. What is it?
You'll regret this
Leave
What the hell do you think
you are doing?
You know fully well
I can't be alone with you
So what did you want?
You need something?
I'm pregnant
Don't worry
I'll say I was raped in hospital
when I was unconscious
Don't worry, I didn't say anything
about Olcha...
...and I won't say anything about you
It makes no difference
Olcha was shot a long time ago
You son of a bitch
- Tonia
- I want to go back to the cell
Tonia. Listen. We have to talk
Don't touch me
- Comrade, you called for me
- Yes. Take her back
- Head of cell, come here
- Wait a second!
Wait a moment, will you?
In a minute! Wait a moment!
Stay there!
Waligorska
Antonina Dziwisz
Dziwisz! Are you deaf? Move yourself!
And the parcel? The parcel's for me
That's it
- Show me
- Yeah, what?
- Haven't you seen it?
- Is it a wool sweater?
It's almost new
It was supposed to be old and American.
You're making it dirty
It's a bit too big for me
- I'll buy it for 180
- For 180 you can kiss my arse
News! Stalin's dead. Pass it on
Listen!
Stalin's dead
What?
- What's she doing?
- It's impossible!
When?
It can't be true!

Did you hear that?
Did you hear that or not?
What happened?
Stalin's dead
Shut up!
The toilet's dirty. Clean it
The towels are dirty. Change them

Please, I'm begging you
Don't take my baby
Listen
You'll be out in three months.
The child is in an orphanage
Take her out
I understand
Hello. Operator?
- Hey, be careful
- Hey, come on
The child is doing fine in our care.
She's developing normally
And her father visits her
A short man... receding a bit?
No. Tall and slim with glasses
I can't recognize her

She really is your mummy
Please don't cry.
Mummy will be sad
Daddy
