Granica - Sebastian Biel (Official Music Video)

Sergeant Marek Nowak patrolled the Polish-Belarusian border on a freezing October evening. The dense forest rustled ominously, and fog cloaked the ground, muffling every sound. Dressed in a heavy uniform with a rifle slung over his shoulder, Marek marched along the border strip. His breath turned to vapor, and his heart beat with vigilance—recent weeks had seen increased attempts at illegal border crossings, and tension hung in the air like an approaching storm.
Suddenly, a crack of branches to his right shattered the silence. Marek froze, raising his weapon. A vague shadow emerged from the darkness, and a moment later, a gunshot tore through the night. A searing pain ripped through his chest near his heart; another shot struck his knee, bringing him to the ground. Blood soaked into his uniform, staining it crimson. His colleague grabbed the radio as Marek, struggling to breathe, whispered, “Call for help, I need assistance!” A second later, darkness engulfed his consciousness.
Miles away, in a warm home, Anna waited for Marek, preparing dinner for their children. Anxiety gripped her heart—her husband was never late. The children, as they went to bed, paused for a moment, as if sensing something was wrong. When news of the attack reached her, Anna’s world collapsed in an instant. Marek’s friend drove her to the hospital where an ambulance had brought her injured husband. In the car, Anna sobbed, her breaking voice tearing at the heart: “Marek, don’t leave me, I beg you! You promised you’d come back!” Her words, filled with pain and love, echoed in the silence of the night city.
In the hospital, doctors fought for Marek’s life—his condition was critical. Anna, overwhelmed with despair, rushed to the ward, clinging to memories of their shared moments and unspoken promises. The uncertainty of whether Marek would survive was unbearable.
The song “Granica” by Sebastian Biel pays tribute to the sacrifice of those who risk their lives for our safety every night and day. The desperate cry of a wife over her wounded husband, heard in the background of the song, amplifies the emotions of this poignant story. This excerpt introduces the music video and an upcoming e-book that will tell the story of the courage and sacrifice of border guards.
