Wladyslaw Gomulka, the son of a hardworking Socialist oil worker from Krosno, was 38 when the Russians and Germans invaded Poland.

Evil is the younger brother (Robert Wagner) whom the shepherd, in the absence of a midwife, "brought into the world with his own hands." When a plane rumored to be carrying gold crashes on top of The Mountain just as winter is setting in, little brother begs big brother to guide him up the mountain so that he can loot the plane, and the passengers too. Big brother indignantly refuses. "You want to go up The Mountain, within the sight...
