A Polish general, a British conspiracy, and a plane crash that rewrote history — or did it?
The film presents the last days of Gen. Sikorski, right before the Gibraltar catastrophe. The commander is accompanied by his daughter Zofia and a group of closest collaborators. They are all guests in the palace of the Governor of Gibraltar, Mason Macfarlane, who is supposed to persuade Sikorski to give back documents on the murder of Polish officers in Katyn. When Sikorski refuses, a plan of attempt on his life comes into action. Who stood behind it? Who executed it and how? Was Zofia on board of Liberator too?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Anna Jadowska was among the few Polish directors tackling Katyn-era conspiracies during a period when Russian-Polish relations made such films politically volatile.
