Leave No Traces

Poland, 1983. The country is shaken by the case of Grzegorz Przemyk, a young student beaten to death by the militia. The only witness of the fatal beating is one of Grzegorz’s colleagues, Jurek Popiel. Initially, the state apparatus downplays the case. However, when over 20 thousand People march through the streets of Warsaw behind Przemyk's coffin, the authorities decide to use any tools against the witness, to discredit Jurek and prevent him from testifying in court.
