Description:

This is a meeting of "Solidarity" interness. They spent around half a year in prison and now the government doesn't want to keep them any longer and they will be free soon. But first some apparatchik gives them hints "for freedom" - how should they act in order not to return to prison. In the background we can see the general for whom the jailer is talking. The internees are looking at him, focused. They are happy that they are leaving - pretending to be listening, they are already thinking about meeting their wives and families. They will have enough of strikes and unions for a while, but then they will continue the fight. (E.D.)
