1979, in Poland. The Cold War reaches a peak. Eastern European leaders become paranoid about Western influence. Donald Sutherland is Comrade Joseph Burski, one of the top officers at the Politburo, who sees his worst nightmare come true when all of a sudden – and for no apparent reason – he is deprived of all the comfort and privileges of his position. Within a society based on mistrust and brutality, love, passion and loyalty are the first victims...but also too often they are the only way out.
