Beginning of 1945, Upper Silesia, Poland. The last days of WW2. At the just liberated areas, the Communist Security Service eliminates its enemies under the pretext of punishing “national traitors.” It organizes a labour camp for Germans, Silesians and Poles, at the site of a former Nazi concentration camp, which is named “Zgoda” / “Reconciliation”. Franek, who is in love with a Polish prisoner Anna, joins the camp crew to rescue her. He doesn't know that one of the inmates is Erwin, his German friend, who, like himself, has also loved Anna for a long time. Franek joins Communists in the illusory hope of outsmarting the system.

Marianna is an attractive 40-year-old woman. She once walked out on the people she loved. She sued your own parents. Does that sound like something you would do? What if It was the only way for you to change your birth certificate? Change your sex? Be yourself? Step by step, we are slowly drawn into Marianna's life in order to understand the difficult decisions she had to make. The film about Marianna has two dimensions. One focuses on a staged theatrical level, in which she confronts her past. The other is purely documentary, in which she struggles with unexpected situations that have a huge impact on her life. As it turns out, life wrote a new, completely unpredictable script for Marianna. The price of freedom and long-desired female identity ended up being very high. (Documentary - 75 min)
