Spoilers ahead
In Poland 1949, the remnants of World War II cast a long shadow over the landscape as a trio embarks on a cultural journey. Comprising the music composer and pianist Wiktor, the dance choreographer Irena, and the manager Kaczmarek, they traverse the Polish countryside, seeking to capture the soulful essence of folk songs and dances. Encountering numerous locals, they record traditional melodies and rhythms but face skepticism from Kaczmarek, who doubts the commercial viability of songs sung in regional dialects. Following their recording sessions, auditions are held for singers and dancers to create a folk dance troupe in an abandoned lavish estate. It is here that Wiktor meets Zula (Joanna Kulig), whose enchanting voice captivates him during her audition.
