The movie begins with\u00a0<strong style=\"line-height: 19.2px\">Oriana Fallaci<\/strong>\u00a0(Maria Rosaria Omaggio) appearing at the Wa\u0142\u0119sas\u2019 flat in an apartment block to interview the future Nobel Prize winner. The emotion-packed conversation with one of the world most famous journalists constitutes a fabric of the movie narrative. Fallaci poses questions no one else ever wanted or dared to ask the legendary leader of the \u201dSolidarity\u201d movement. By doing so, she unveils the truth of a man gifted with charisma and amazing political intuition.<br style=\"line-height: 19.2px\" \/>The actual biographical story begins in 1970: Soon after the communist authorities have bloodily suppressed the workers\u2019 protests, Wa\u0142\u0119sa is forced to sign an obligation to collaborate with the Security Services. The following scenes showing hero\u2019s path to political maturity are interwoven with the Wa\u0142\u0119sas\u2019 family life. The relationship between Lech and Danuta (<strong style=\"line-height: 19.2px\">Agnieszka Grochowska<\/strong>), their house full of kids and daily problems are as important as politics \u2013 they thought they were to live regular lives in their Gdansk apartment, but instead they were surrounded by momentous, political events, calling for taking a stand. Behind the strong man there is \u2013 as it turns out \u2013 a much stronger woman, his wife.<br style=\"line-height: 19.2px\" \/>Sometimes freedom needs to be fought for and your homeland needs to be protected. Politics and love, fear and sense of security, necessity of subordination and a will to rebel \u2013 the film, just as Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa\u2019s life, is full of contrast. His sense of duty towards the nation intertwines with that towards the family; the love of his wife and children with the love of his country. Is Lech making the right choices?

Co-founder and a first leader of the Solidarity (\u201cSolidarno\u015b\u0107\u201d) trade union movement. In August 1980 he led the Gdansk shipyard strike. As a result of the strike, the communist authorities capitulated and agreed to sign Gdansk Agreement (August 31, 1980). He was fighting for a right of a working people to associate and for the dignity of human labour. During the martial law, which was introduced in December 1981, he was interned and isolated.<br \/><br \/>Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa, a charismatic leader of the Polish opposition, has eight children with his beloved wife Danuta (married in 1969). When he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, it was she, who went to Oslo and read the acceptance speech: We desire peace &#8211; and that is why we have never resorted to physical force. We crave for justice &#8211; and that is why we are so persistent in the struggle for our rights. We seek freedom of convictions &#8211; and that is why we have never attempted to enslave man&#8217;s conscience nor shall we ever attempt to do so. During the following transformation process, he played a key role in talks between the communist party and the opposition. Wa\u0142\u0119sa was elected as the President of Poland in 1990.<br \/><br \/><strong>1970<\/strong><br \/>In December 1970 Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa is one of the leaders of the Gda\u0144sk Shipyard strike and becomes a member of the Strike Committee.<br \/><br \/><strong>1978<\/strong><br \/>In 1978 he starts collaboration with the Free Trade Unions of the Coast and distributes opposition\u2019s press. He then becomes a co-worker of the Workers\u2019 Defence Committee and joins the editorial staff of the independent biweekly &#8222;Robotnik Wybrze\u017ca&#8221; (\u201cWorker of the Coast\u201d).<br \/><br \/><strong>1980<\/strong><br \/>In August 1980 he is one of the organizers, alongside e.g. Bogdan Borusewicz of the Gda\u0144sk Shipyard strike and becomes its leader. After other protesting groups join in, he proclaims it a \u201csolidarity strike.\u201d<br \/><br \/><strong>1981<\/strong><br \/>December 13th, 1981 he is detained, transferred to Warsaw, then interned in government facilities in Chylice, Otwock Wielki and, finally, in Ar\u0142am\u00f3w. When the decision of his internment is overturned in November 1982, Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa goes back to Gda\u0144sk, where he is welcomed by crowds of people.<br \/><br \/><strong>1983<\/strong><br \/>On October 5th 1983, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announces its decision to award Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa with the Nobel Peace Prize. His wife, Danuta Wa\u0142\u0119sa, collects the prize on his behalf.<br \/><br \/><strong>1989<\/strong><br \/>During the Roundtable Talks in Warsaw Wa\u0142\u0119sa is a head of the \u201cSolidarity\u201d delegation. He also participates in confidential meetings at the Ministry of the Interior Affairs facility in Magdalenka, which are decisive in concluding the agreement. As a result, parliamentary elections are held in June 1989.<br \/><br \/><strong>1990<\/strong><br \/>After two rounds of elections in November and December of 1990, he is elected President of the Republic of Poland. On December 22nd he is sworn in as the first president elected in the popular elections. Wa\u0142\u0119sa remains in office until December 22nd, 1995.
