The movie is based on real events which took place in Wrocław in 1981 just ten days before martial law was introduced in Poland. A group of young activists of the Solidarity movement launch a bold attempt at withdrawing the astonishing amount of 80 million zlotys from Solidarity’s bank account before it would be blocked by the communist regime. Security Service officers follow their steps. A fascinating cat-and-mouse game begins, involving clergy and petty money-changers. The characters of the story were based on prominent activists of the Solidarity movement - Władysław Frasyniuk, Józef Pinor, Piotr Bendarz and Stanisław Huskowski.
