Go Against the Flow (2024)

Second half of the 1970s. Several teenagers from Ustrzyki Dolne, led by a charismatic and undisciplined student of the Ustrzyki vocational school, Siczka, decided to become punks and play punk rock. They were inspired by the Sex Pistols band heard on a foreign radio station and the new "punk" culture. First, they send a letter to Radio Free Europe asking for more "free people's music" on the air. To their amazement, the letter is read live, and the station starts airing a weekly punk show. Of course, neither Siczka nor the rest of the boys have any idea what a big deal this modest show will start and what great dark powers will come against them. The letter read out in Free Europe was noticed by representatives of the repressive apparatus of the People's Republic of Poland. The SB officer, Jerzy Majak, while interrogating Siczka, makes it clear that Ustrzyki Dolne is not London and there will be no "punk" in his commune.
