The Codes

An elderly man returns to Poland. He had been in exile in London for years. He left a wife and a son behind. What he is really looking for, though, is someone else. His younger son disappeared in the Second World War. He has come to follow that trail. The son who survived had been in the resistance. He tells his father a few things. What he says is not comfortable. There is another possibility about the missing brother. He may have collaborated. The father has to face that possibility. The truth he came for keeps slipping away. The film looks at the family side of the war rather than the front. Jan Kreczmar and Zbigniew Cybulski appear in the eighty minute film, a Polish production Wojciech Has finished in 1966.
