LatestIn the final days of August 1939, Bednarski sneaks into Gdańsk. He asks Captain Mokrowiecki for a passport for his Jewish friend. Mokrowiecki agrees—on the condition that Bednarski works for him. Soon, Bednarski is arrested by the Germans. During a brutal interrogation, he hands over a microfilm from Westerplatte. The Gestapo then throws him out onto the street. His second mission is far more dangerous: to deliver a fake microfilm to the Germans. Bednarski learns that the film’s authenticity will be verified by a Pole named Bruno Piwiński. He attempts to persuade Piwiński to stop cooperating with the Germans.
Set in the late 1930s in the Free City of Gdańsk, the series follows Bednarski, a private detective considered the best in his field—evidenced by his brief collaboration with Polish intelligence. Each episode presents a standalone story, united by the central character and the broader historical backdrop: the fate of Gdańsk, Poland, Europe, and the world as they edge inexorably toward World War II.
