Synopsis
It is the summer of 1980. Three Young men – and 17,000 other workers – are lying in the shade of trees. Jarmo Jaaskelainen returns to the material he shot thirty years ago at the Gdansk dockyard. Young men arrive at the dock at dawn with their strike posters to demand justice. The sit-down protest extends, Lech Wałęsa rises to leadership, und ultimately ten thousand Poles join the Solidarity movement. The Pope declares hope, sought on pilgrimages. The Gdańsk strike shook up European totalitarian communist systems. The world changed. The young men at Gdańsk dockyard demanded change – and got what they wanted. In recently shot images they are middle-aged. They did not wish of everything that has happened, and everything they wished for has happened. The dock has been sold to itself under dubious contracts, new workers put in long hours and the apartments are too small. Some have it better.
