Synopsis Kanal begins on the 56th day of the Warsaw Uprising against the Nazis. A ragtag group of trained and untrained Resistance fighters hold the frontline. They try to live a relatively normal life, and even play the piano. They achieve many small victories, but must retreat into the sewers. But the darkness stretches on forever... A work of shocking extremes, Kanal depicts the dignity of ordinary people in the face of unspeakable horror. In dark underground pits, gorgeous women struggle in rivers of sludge. The darkness itself weighs down heavily - but is punctuated by flickering candles and torches that create unforgettable compositions, and by brutal bursts of light from the world above. Kanal was the second feature film directed by Academy Award and Cannes Film Festival-winner Andrzej Wajda. It is the second part of Wajda's acclaimed "war trilogy," which also includes A Generation and Ashes and Diamonds.
