History, once characterised by its harsh and painful aspects, can eventually transform into the subject of humour and a wellspring of creative inspiration for artists. War is no exception. In Pray For Peace, Train For War Polish director Agnieszka Elbanowska creates a funny and satirical world that resembles war.
The plot revolves around Tytus, (Michał Sikorski) a young man who becomes a member of the local paramilitary group established by his father (Juliusz Chrzastowski). It is within this group that he crosses paths with Natalia (Kinga Jasik), a notably stronger and more experienced young woman.
