The biggest social scandal in turn-of-the-century Krakow: generally known and respected names on a theatrical poster. A well-known writer, eccentric poets and even maids at birth are characters in the drama. And in their midst are historical, mythological and fantastic figures who descend from canvases, books and the collective imagination for one night to fill a dancing cottage. Wedding Poles' conversations, inscribed in the rhythm of the dance in one sentence, in two words, between irony and tragedy. A penetrating verification of romantic myths: national solidarity, readiness for action, sacrifice to the Cause. No illusions.
