Lodz, 1965. Adam Hoffman – a prominent surgeon, former member of the Home Army and political prisoner – for years has been trying to obtain a passport to visit the family he left in England. An officer of the Office of Security who monitors the medical community leaves no doubt that signing up a cooperation agreement is the only way to achieve that. Adam bumps into Piotr, a painter and an old friend from the days in the underground, who gives him an idea for a different solution. But the price to pay will be very high. Inspired by the 1960s “heist of the century”, There and Back is a variation on Polish heist movies – a dazzling retro action film with great acting performances. A faithful portrait of the era, a metaphor of contemporary Poland at the turn of centuries and an attempt to answer the question whether the ends always justify the means.
