A thrilling cat-and-mouse game set at the onset of Poland’s Martial Law era in 1981, starring Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Lesley Manville as a British professor who travels to Warsaw to lecture on psychiatry at a university. Her world is turned upside down as martial law is declared, tanks invade, and her hosts are nowhere to be found. She witnesses a political murder and is forced to go on the run in the brutal winter, without speaking the language, and with no one to turn to for help. What follows is an eye-opening look at Poland’s deprivation, paranoia, and resilience behind the Iron Curtain in the 1980s.
