- World War II is in progress. In a Silesian forest a Polish partisan called Rysiek gets an order to execute a German officer. The commander assigns a youth to help Rysiek with the task. That is the same youth that wakes him up from a nightmare earlier in the day. The action does not seem to be a challenge for Rysiek, but how is he to know that thanks to that action the ghosts of the past will come to haunt him and the nightmare he was woken out of has not come to an end. The film addresses the important issue of the separation of siblings as a result of secret adoption. History has been deliberately moved into one of the most heinous periods in history to illustrate the harmfulness of this procedure and its cruel consequences.
- Clandestine Olympics are to be held in a German POW camp during World War II which houses many Poles, but also French and British. A spit and polish German lieutenant is added to the staff of the camp. He recognizes one of the Poles, the acknowledged leader of the Polish prisoners, as an athlete against whom he had competed during the Berlin Olympics in 1936. He asks the Pole to train with him but is refused; the Pole points out that he is a prisoner and nothing more, but that plants a seed and the Pole proposes an Olympics 40 to be held among the prisoners. They ingeniously make a flag and medals, set up a number of races; a crouching hop race is unwittingly organized by a German prison guard who uses it as a form of torture. The German lieutenant knows that something is going on but cannot figure it out. Finally the Germans realize what's going on and the Polish leader is sent to a concentration camp, but the others disobey the orders.
