Anna and her daughter Nika travel from Krakow to meet her husband and officer Andrzej and they try to convince him to leave the soldiers and escape back home. However, Andrzej refuses to leave the troop and is deported to USSR. Later the Soviet tells that the Polish officers had been massacred by the Germans in the Katyn Forest with a shot on the back of the neck. However, Anna retrieves Andrzej’s diary and discloses that the soldiers had been actually murdered by the Soviet Army. The corruption of the cover-up poisons the country. Will the truth come out?
