Item: Ashes and Diamonds
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The "Translated Overview (English)" is wrong. There is no Soviet Soldier, and no such soldier is the reason for Maciek's moral doubts.
Consider Wikipedia (EN):
The story takes place during the last few days of World War II in Europe, and describes the political and moral dilemmas associated with the soon to be suppressed Anti-communist resistance in Poland (1944–1946).[1] The protagonist Maciek is a soldier in the underground anti-communist Polish army assigned to kill the Communist Szczuka. The story follows Maciek's and other characters' actions in those ominous days.
Consider automatic translation from the polish description already on TMDB (via deepl):
A young academy soldier, Maciek Chelmicki, is ordered to shoot the secretary of the KW PPR. A coincidence causes him to kill someone else. Meeting face to face with his victim, he gets a shock. He faces the necessity of repeating the assassination. He meets Krystyna, a girl working as a barmaid in the restaurant of the "Monopol" hotel. His affection for her makes him even more aware of the senselessness of killing at the end of the war. Loyalty to the oath he took, and thus the obligation to obey the order, tips the scales.
Or check the description from the Criterion Collection website.
