When Prussia marched into Poland in 1793, the riot prison was full of screams and cries. A mysterious man in black took advantage of the chaos to save the young political prisoner Jacques and told him to go home as soon as possible. Along the way, Jacques saw Poland devastated by the war. His friends thought he was dead, his father committed suicide, his mother became a prostitute, his sister went crazy, and his best friend became a rich politician who took over his girlfriend. Poland has become another corrupt world, and the mysterious man in black appears as if he were a ghost. Jacques collapsed in despair and madness, and he carried out a bloody killing with a razor. The political reform in Poland at the end of the 18th century provoked neighboring countries such as Soviet Russia, resulting in Prussian aggression and being carved up with Poland for the second time. The "devil" used this historical event to allude to a series of protests by Polish college students demanding reform in March 1968. The whole film has a blurred fantasy color, exaggerated and deformed body performances, crazy narration, hysterical emotional venting, and extremely visually shocking violence. The film also establishes the style mark of director Zulaski's future films, such as "possessed". The Devil is the strongest political film in Zulaski's film.
