本片根据波兰著名同名小说改编，讲述了二战期间，华沙被纳粹德国军队占领，波兰童子军的年轻人们与德国占领者进行英勇斗争的故事。 　　Based on a well-known Polish novel with the same title the movie re-tells a true life story of a group of scouts called ''Szare Szeregi'' (Gray Ranks) during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw and the liberation of one of its members (imprisoned and tortured by the Germans) through a maverick military action in board daylight right under the enemy's nose known ''Action at the Arsenal'' which was the biggest single feat of the sort undertaken by a youth resistance organisation in all of occupied Europe during WWII.

故事发生在20世纪初的波兰乡村，天真美丽的农家少女贾格娜（卡米拉·乌尔泽多夫斯卡 Kamila Urzedowska 饰）宛如一朵荒野中盛开的鲜花，引人注目又遭到严苛风霜的嫉恨和吹打。贾格娜和富农博瑞纳（米罗斯洛·巴卡 Miroslaw Baka 饰）的儿子安特克（罗伯特·古拉奇克 Robert Gulaczyk 饰）互有好感，而安特克却早有家室，并且一身反骨，和父亲关系多有不睦。出于利益方面的考量，博瑞纳决定娶贾格娜为自己的续弦妻子，而这也直接激化了父子间的矛盾。一场冲突过后，安特克和妻儿被赶出了家门。另一方面，贾格娜郁郁寡欢，心中始终爱恋着安特克，彼此这份感情也终于将他们再度连接在一起。 　　影片改编自诺贝尔文学奖得主、波兰著名作家符瓦迪斯瓦夫·莱蒙特的同名小说。
