I liked "Nikt nie wola" (Nobody is calling) from the aesthetic side, but its plot didn't draw me in, even though I have a similar opinion to the film director Kazimierz Kutz. Already in February 1945, at the Yalta Conference, it was decided that Poland would enter the USSR's zone of influence. The Home Army (AK) was dissolved on 19.01.1945. So what did the partisans who stayed in the forests think? Did they think they would win against the Soviet Army? My uncle-in-law was then an officer in the Polish troops at the side of the British army, and he never came back to Poland and died in England in 1984. No one in my family had pro-communist sympathies, but no one sympathized with the anti-communist underground either. I think that if someone wanted to stay in Poland after WWII, he should have started a normal life, and if not, he should have used all the means to escape to the West. I realize, however, that it wasn't that simple, because some people from the Home Army got out of the conspiracy, and the communists put them in prisons. But this is also no reason to glorify the anti-communist underground, because you don't start a war with zero chance of success. The plot of " Nobody is calling" touches the theme of the anti-communist underground in Poland after the end of WWII, which was assessed negatively in the film. I enjoyed watching the film and liked the acting and the views of the areas that are now Western Poland. But even if I agree with the negative assessment of the underground, too many years have passed for the film's plot to draw me in.
