Go Against the Flow

Second half of the 1970s. A few teenagers from the town of Ustrzyki Dolne, led by a charismatic and undisciplined student of the local school, Siczka, decided to become punks and get into punk rock. They start a band called KSU. They make rebellious music, at the same time transplanting elements of the London ‘punk culture’ onto the grounds of the shabby region. The boys’ activities get noticed by the Security Service. During Siczka’s interrogation, officer Jerzy Majak makes it clear to him that there is no place for any ‘punk’ in Ustrzyki Dolne. The Security Service launches Operation Razor to smash the band...
