Les amours d'une jeune étudiante polonaise et d'un ambitieux anthropologue qui vient de découvrir dans les marais proches de Varsovie le corps d'un chaman vieux de deux mille ans. La jeune femme va peu à peu transformer sa vision de l'anthropologie.

The beginning of 1945, Poland. In a newly liberated country, the Communist Security Service is annihilating its enemies under the guise of punishing "national traitors." They organize a labor camp for Germans, Silesians and Poles, on the site of a former Nazi concentration camp called Zgoda / Reconciliation. Franek, who is in love with the Polish prisoner Anna, goes to work as a warder in the camp to save her. He does not know that one of the prisoners - Erwin, his German friend, also loved this girl for a long time. Franek joins the communists in the illusory hope of outsmarting the system.
