Kroll 1991
Synopsis
Marcin Kroll, a soldier serving compulsory military service, deserts from the army unit when he finds out his wife is having an affair with his best friend. Kroll\'s move coincides with a suicide of a soldier who could not endure persecution by sadistic officers. Officers are afraid of a scandal: the suicide and desertion is too much for one army unit. They resolve to find the deserter on their own before the military prosecutor starts the investigation.
