More documentary in its approach than dramatized history, this is a compelling story about a 1901 children's strike in Wrzesnia near the Polish border with Prussia. Poland was partitioned at this time, and a rigidly patriotic Prussian teacher in Wrzesnia follows the dictates of the Germans in parliament and insists that the children be taught their religion classes in German. When the children refuse to take part in the classes, they are supported by the local priest, but that does not save them from being beaten. They are also kept after school and tormented in other ways as well. Newspapers, parents, and the nation as a whole get involved, transforming a simple children's strike into a national incident.

The story deals with the famous incident that occurred in schoolroom of Wrzesnia, near Prussian-Russian border of partitioned Poland, in 1901. The issue is the teaching of religion in German schools, a decision that draws a protest from Polish deputies in the German parliament. A local priest invoked the strike and continues to support the children when they refuse to participate in the lessons, even under beatings and threats.
