Historical drama about the last days of General Wladyslaw Sikorski, the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces during World War II. According to history, he died in a plane crash in Gibraltar. But according to this film, he was murdered there on the orders of the British governor. It's basically a Polish "JFK", but the conspiracy theory presented isn't very convincing, as it seem to include the Soviets, the British and anti-Sikorski Poles - a very unlikely coalition. In fact, the only reason many Poles opposed Sikorski was because he was perceived as being insufficiently anti-Soviet. To suggest that those Polish opponents of Sikorski would conspire with the Soviets (and the British) to kill him, is completely illogical.
