Danuta Michałowska

A film devoted to the difficult fate and dramatic choices of actors during the war – whether to continue practicing their profession, performing in theaters that were openly operating and opened with the consent of the occupying authorities, and thus agree to a kind of collaboration with the enemy, or to abandon the acting profession and change careers. The author of the film presents the attitudes of actors in the General Government, primarily Warsaw artists: how they reacted to the directives of the Underground State and the resolution of the ZASP - the Secret Theater Council prohibiting its members from cooperating with open theaters.
