A frightened look of a woman, from a rare self-portrait of a couple, leads the director
to a shocking family story. Hidden secrets reveal when 65-year-old son, Simon,
discovers that his father, the photographer Mundek Lukawiecki, and his mother, the
housewife Hannah Bern, were the commanders of a Polish assassination squad that
operated during the Holocaust. The chilling facts are backed by unique photos
taken in the forest by Mundek, the partisan, on his Leica camera.
