It's an assemblage of contemporary narration with scenes from Karski's life and actions, including archival footage. The modern part involves two filmmakers who under pressure of time work on a docudrama about Karski. The historical part consists of the scenes staged by actors who recreate episodes from the life of Karski for a need of the film: interrogation in Nowy Sacz, visit to the Warsaw Ghetto, meeting with Szmul Zygielbojm in London. Making of the film enables a discourse about the protagonist's dilemmas and moral choices and their significance to young generation in forming its attitude toward the modern world.
