Father Czesław and son Tadeusz devoted everything to their passions for design. The film tells the story of the great friendship of geniuses of two generations who paved the way in pioneering fields: father Czesław – “Polish Icarus”, created the first flying machines, and son Tadeusz – the first Polish passenger cars, the famous CWS. Together they tried to build the first Polish helicopter. Tadeusz brought his knowledge and education straight from Paris, where he abandoned his brilliant career to serve a free Poland. He built the FT-B armoured car, which supported the Polish victory in the Polish-Bolshevik War in 1920. Their passions and dreams were cut almost at the same time by the tragedy of World War II. Son Tadeusz, a rebellious patriot, died in Auschwitz, and father Czesław died alone soon after. Forgotten for years, in narrow circles of specialists they were still a legend. Today, through film, the legend comes alive for everyone.
