Set in war-torn Warsaw during World War II, KANAL tells of soldiers and patriots attempting to flee the grasp of the Nazis by escaping through the city's maze of sewers. In ASHES AND DIAMONDS, a young Polish Resistance fighter is ordered on the last day of WWII to assassinate an incoming Russian commissar. However, a mistake leads to him having an encounter with a beautiful barmaid.
