In December 1970, Henryk, a final-year student of electrical
engineering at the Technical University of Gdansk, Poland, is involved
in a street demonstration of Polish shipyard workers in which twenty
people are killed. Because of his involvement, Henryk believes that his
arrest is imminent, and he frantically stows away on a ship to
Denmark. But he leaves behind his first love, Ann, his parents, and his
best friend, who is a nuclear physicist. From Denmark, he goes to
Hamburg, Germany, immigrates to Australia, surfs, and studies the
safety of nuclear reactors. But home beckons.
Eight years later, Henryk crosses the Iron Curtain in search of Ann.
But in the era of the Cold War, tight security, and the Solidarity
resistance, his Australian passport does not give him the safety he
hopes for. Faced with the frightening prospect of losing everything
he's worked for, Henryk must choose between his past and his future. |
