Winston Spencer Churchill, Nobel Prize winner, hero of World War II. Untouchable? One of the most intriguing stories of World War II as it has never been shown before. Churchill, a name typically associated with braveness and altruism. Recently found evidence from Soviet and British sources however brings up questions about Churchill's doings in the conferences of Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam. Why did he agree to give Stalin large parts of Poland, thus dramatically shifting the borders of Europe? Churchill's fear that Stalin would cut the frail bond between them is a recurrent theme. Each of the pointed animatics stands for a key moment in history, seen through Churchill's eyes. The story of two world leaders in times of war - it is also the story of Poland.
