War film

Director:
Edwin Zbonek

Short description:
War front is approaching a quarry, somewhere in Poland. Camp inmates are expecting liberation, but soon they find out that liquidation of all prisoners awaits. Their only hope is that one of them reaches war front and asks for help. During mining, prisoner Franz manages to escape, and his own brother, member of an SS, pursues him along with a dog. The dog, however, helps the running man, getting him out of the quicksand in which he found himself. Still, at arm's length to another bank and freedom, the fugitive is caught up by the bullets of his brother-hunter.
