The manifesto of the far-right All-Polish Youth organisation states: 'We don't come from nowhere. All of us are members of a greater community. The nation. We are the Poles, which sounds trivial to some people, but for us it is the fundamental truth. The foundation of our identity.' Members of this organization fight against feminists, gays and lesbians. Their intolerance goes hand in hand with the proudly declared attachment to Catholic values.
The film tries to find answers to two questions: Who are these people? What is the origin of their fundamentalism?
