The author raises questions about the limits of compromise and betrayal, about the price of survival in a world where moral values ​​are eroded.

The author describes in detail the ban on performances issued by the conspiratorial ZASP and the Secret Theater Council as early as 1940, which aimed to boycott German propaganda and preserve Polish cultural identity.
