Morfina

Konstanty Willemann, a Varsovian with a German aristocrat father and a Polonised Silesian mother, scorns patriotic slogans. A cynic and bon vivant, an unfaithful husband and bad father, he fights reluctantly in September 1939 and after the defeat joins the underground against his will. He wants to be neither Pole nor German, only to get his next bottle of morphine. But history cannot be escaped.
