“Through the Wall” is a story of a great improbable love that happened for real. In 1947, 27-year-old Wiesława Pajdak (Maria Dębska) was arrested and sent to the communist prison on Rakowiecka. A few days later, 27-year-old Jerzy Śmiechowski (Jakub Gierszał) goes to the same prison. One night they start a conversation through the wall using Morse code, and although it is hard to believe, the young fall in love with each other. After six years of meeting, they see each other “live” for the first time during their prison wedding. After being released, they live together happily for 55 years. This is the story of an extraordinary encounter and the love that saved them both.
