What happens

Ga-ga: Glory To The Heroes (Polish: Ga, ga: Chwała bohaterom) is a 1986 Polish science fiction dystopian film directed by Piotr Szulkin. The film was based on the novel Kryptonym Psima (1982) by Mirosław P. Jabłoński and the "La Ricotta" segment in film Ro.Go.Pa.G (1963) by Pier Paol Pasolini. It is the last part of the director's thematic apocalypse tetralogy, which consists of Golem, The War of the Worlds: Next Century and O-bi, O-ba:The End of Civilization. The film follows a convict condemned to explore and conquer an earth colony where, upon his arrival he is declared a "hero". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
