An adaptation of Wojciech Żukrowski’s prose.

A war drama depicted by a poetic story. Lotna is a beautiful mare accompanying a Polish cavalry squadron during the September Campaign in 1939. She is consecutively inherited by several officers who’s life we come to know. All their stories end tragically in face of the assaulting enemy. Lotna is not only a war story but also an illustration of human behaviors in certain dramatic situations.

One of the most mythologized Polish films, infused with the heroic-romantic tradition of the Polish cavalry with the famous cavalry charge on tanks. The film presents incredibly pictorial visuals.
