Such a film should be made. The phenomenon that is the All-Polish Youth in Poland needs to be analyzed and looked at carefully with the "patient eye" of a documentary filmmaker. Until now, we have only viewed the All-Polish Youth through hurried news or journalistic discussions. Who are the people who make up this organization? What are their motivations? The path of life? What caused them to get involved in social and political activities? These are just some of the questions this film asks to find out the answer to the question of why the idea of a pre-war youth organization has become important and carried in modern Poland. The heroes of the film are both the leaders of this organization and its ordinary members. We want to look at Poland through their eyes. What does it mean for them today to fight for Poland, what does it mean - to be a Pole? How do they want to instill their radical patriotism in others?
