Stach is a wayward teen living in squalor on the outskirts of Nazi-occupied Warsaw. Guided by an avuncular Communist organizer, he is introduced to the underground resistance—and to the beautiful Dorota.

A coming-of-age story of survival and shattering loss, A Generation delivers a brutal portrait of the human cost of war.
