The event "Through the Wall - Polish Cinema Day" will take place on November 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM at Miejski Ośrodek Kultury Stary Młyn in Zgierz. It tells the story of the meeting and love between Wiesława Pajdak and Jerzy Śmiechowski.
In November 1947, Wiesława Pajdak was arrested for activity in the anti-communist underground and imprisoned at Rakowiecka prison. A few days later, Jerzy Śmiechowski was placed in the neighboring cell. One night they began communicating through the wall using Morse code. This is how they met, though it's hard to believe.
