The Scar ( 1976 )

Late 1960s. After discussions and negotiations, a decision is taken as to where a large new chemical factory is to be built and Bednarz, an honest party man, is put in charge. He used to live in the small town where the factory is to be built, his wife used to be a party activist there, and they both have unpleasant memories of it. But he sets to the task believing that he will build a place where people can work and earn well. His intentions and convictions, however, conflict with those of the townspeople who are primarily concerned with their short-term needs. Disillusioned, Bednarz gives up his post.—Polish Cinema Database
