Akademi Onur Ödülü ile ödüllendirilmiş Polonyalı yönetmen Andrzej Wajda'nın yönettiği filmin senaryosunu 1948 tarihli aynı adlı kendi romanından Jerzy Andrzejewski uyarlayıp yazmıştır. Filmin adı, filmin kahramanının bombardımanda yıkılmış bir kilisenin duvarında gördüğü 19. yy'da yaşamış Polonyalı şair Cyprian Norwid'a ait bir şiirden gelmektedir. Şiirin dizelerinde, kömürün yüksek ısı ve basınç altında elmasa dönüşmesi olgusuna bir gönderme yapılmaktadır. Filmde, Polonya'da Nazi işgalcilere karşı bir zamanlar zorunlu olarak işbirliği yapmış olan Milliyetçi güçlerin ve Komünistlerin aralarındaki bu ittifakın artık çatırdamaya başladığı 2. Dünya Savaşı'nın son günlerinde, taşralı Milliyetçi bir militan olan Maciek (Zbigniew Cybulski) etkili bir Komünist lideri öldürmekle görevlendirilir. Görevi sırasında kaldığı otelde hayata dair farklı şeyler hissetmeye başlar, bir seçim yapıp sonuçlarına da katlanmak zorunda kalacaktır.

Polonyalı yazar Jan Potocki’nin Türkçe’ye de çevrilmiş romanından uyarlanan film, Napolyon Dönemi’nde bir savaş esnasında, Zbigniew Cybulski tarafından canlandırılan ana karakterin bir el yazması bulmasıyla başlayan olayları takip eder. Film, göz alıcı bir siyah beyaz görsellikle desteklenen masalsı atmosferi, hikaye içinde hikaye şeklinde özetlenebilecek yapısıyla kusursuz bir uyum göstererek seyircinin de bu rüya içinde kaybolmasını sağlıyor. Çekildiği dönemin ardından neredeyse unutulan bu gerçeküstücü epik, bugünkü kült statüsünü Martin Scorsese ve Francis Ford Coppola tarafından keşfedilip, batılı seyircilerle buluşturulmasına borçlu. Bu iki ustaya ek olarak Luis Bunuel, David Lynch, Neil Gaiman gibi isimlerin de filmin hayranları arasında bulunduğunu belirtmekte fayda var.
