Full plot (contains spoilers)
Auschwitz, 1941. One of the prisoners, Jan, makes a daring, though rather accidental, escape. In response to his escape, the camp commandant sentences ten prisoners to death in the starvation bunker. The Franciscan friar Maximilian Maria Kolbe decides to give his life for another prisoner. At the end of the war and for many years afterward, Jan and the Franciscan friar Anzelm of Niepokalanów seek to understand Kolbe’s motives, though the two men are driven by different considerations.
