| What's it about? |
1930s' Poland. 10-year old Karol Wojtyla has dreams; one by one they are shattered. First, by the loss of his mother and brother. Then, by the outbreak of the war and the death-fleeing human exodus that ensued. Finally, by the first signs of the Jewish persecution. These events marked the start of Karol's long journey from worker, to poet and teacher, then priest and finally pope. |
