Plot

"To be defeated and not to give in is a victory." Here is the motto, which in life is guided by three young friends: Alek, Zośka and Rudy. Scouts, high school graduates of Warsaw high school making ambitious plans for the future interrupted by September 1939. They enter adulthood in unusually dramatic times that put them ahead of their choice – survive at all costs or join the fighters for a free homeland, risking everything. The boys, raised in patriotic homes, shaped by scout ideals, decide to fight. They become soldiers and although they rub against death every day, they can live life to the fullest. They fight selflessly and with honor. To leave "like stones thrown at God's lair", leaving behind a great lesson of friendship, honor and love for the homeland.^[3]
