Operation Hyacinth

Warsaw, 1985. In communist Poland, against the backdrop of the underhand ‘Operation Hyacinth’ run by the secret police, a young officer, Robert (25), and his more experienced colleague, investigate a murder case in the hermetic gay community. The authorities are too eager for Robert’s taste to blame the murder on the first suspect, so when he finds an informant, an unsuspecting, free-spirited student, Arek (23), Robert ventures out on his own to discover the truth. In the process Robert must face his personal demons, his strict father, a secret police official, and, in the end, the communist authorities.
