Tossup

Description acceptable. In a film, one member of this group pretends she is not the author of a message declaring her love for another member of this group, remarking only that scared people write messages to make them feel better. Stach, a young man who joins this group after his friend is killed stealing coal from a supply train, is the subject of A Generation, the first film in a trilogy about members of this (-5[1])group. A 1957 film (-5[1])chronicles the attempts of several members of this group to retreat downtown through a (*) sewer system. Another film by the same (10[1])director follows a former member of this group who becomes increasingly disillusioned with his orders to assassinate the communist politician Szczuka at the end of WWII. For 10 points, the subjects of Andrzej Wajda (-5[1])films like Kanał and Ashes and Diamonds are members of what (10[1])collective group that fought in the Warsaw (10[1])Uprising? (10[1])■END■
