The film takes place during the first four days of the Warsaw Uprising. The main character is Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, one of the most outstanding poets of the young war generation. The film is a pseudo-documentary account of the last days of the artist's life. We learn about his earlier life through numerous flashbacks. The film uses a lot of archival material, memorabilia, and eyewitness accounts of the poet's death.
