Andrzej Wajda's debut feature chronicles the lives of a group of young friends who, having grown up in German-occupied Poland, find their places within the Resistance army fighting against their Nazi oppressors. Taking inspiration from the Italian neorealist movement, and brilliantly photographed by Jerzy Lipman, A Generation changed Polish cinema forever - delivering a brutal elegy to the human cost of war.
