About the film
A well-known writer (Andrzej Seweryn) has an affair with a beautiful
and much younger woman (Magdalena Boczarska). In spite of popular
indignation caused by the differences in age, material wealth and
social status, he marries this attractive "girl from nowhere". Blinded
by his emotions, he doesn't suspect that their relationship may not
be a coincidence. What he doesn't know is that she has secretly been
seeing another man (Robert Więckiewicz), with whom she shares not
only a great passion, but also a dangerous intrigue. Engaged in an
immoral liaison with a secret agent, she gives him information that
is meant to discredit the writer. An erotic fascination with her lover
gradually transforms into deeper feelings, although the young woman
is aware that she is nothing but an accessory in an organized plot
of the secret service. A story inspired by true event. Set in the
tumultuous 1960s, this is the story of a dangerous emotional game
between an acclaimed writer, his beautiful young wife and her lover.
