The film is a historical drama based on real events, depicting the unknown history of a Polish athlete who became a symbol of hope for victory over Nazi terror. The boxer fought several dozen fights in the camp, of which he lost only one. His on-screen history was documented in detail based on archival statements of former prisoners of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and the memories of the boxer himself. Acclaimed Polish actor Piotr Głowacki was cast in the lead and he is accompanied by Marian Dziędziel, Grzegorz Małecki, Rafał Zawierucha, Marcin Bosak, Marcin Czarnik and Piotr Witkowski.
