A Polish drama; A story set during World War II about a young woman and her attempt to survive while mayhem surrounds her in the region of Eastern Poland bordering Ukraine called Volhynia. The film's central theme is Polish-Ukrainian inter-ethnic hatred culminating in massacres of Poles. It is based on true events and true accounts from witnesses, though there were some crimes carried out by Poles on Ukrainians, which has proved divisive.
There are some scenes that will simply take the viewers' breath away by the graphic nature of killings depicted. The film is gripping, well acted, and probably one of the most controversial films for a generation.
