又一部东欧魔幻现实主义佳作,别被片名给骗了,故事远不是像片名那么浪漫... 　　Decadence, homosexuality, excess wealth, infidelity, alcoholism and drugs all played a major role in the decline of aristocracy.

本片由几个初看起来并无关系的线索汇聚而成：一个律师本应为因组织罢工而被捕的团结工会积极分子辩护，不幸于出庭前死去，案件交由一个老律师处理。老律师热衷与人争论道德的可疑性问题。那个积极分子在各方面的重重压力下死去。同时，那个已故律师的妻子感到青春的虚空，沉溺于同其他男人的爱欲之中，但肉体的满足并不能代替精神的寂寞，最后在绝望中，她拧开煤气自杀。

1941年，當納粹的鐵蹄正在踐踏波蘭的時候，猶太裔大提琴家凱雅和本為醫生的丈夫亞達及女兒從城市避走到一村莊。村莊的雜貨店女主人艾美娜願意收容他們，並叫亞達冒稱她上了戰場的丈夫，凱雅和女兒則躲在閣樓內。亞達和艾蓮娜日久生情，凱雅從閣樓中目睹一齊，但只可啞忍無言……外面是紛亂的世代，裡面是靈慾的交戰。到底這三角錯戀是患難見真情，是死亡的陰霾，抑或是求生的意慾？

Talent and passion for music can take one to the very top. On the way, however, there are going to be showbiz traps. There is money, fame and fan crowds involved. Will a young girl be able to fight for her dreams in this no-holds-barred world where fame is so elusive? A controversial talent show called "Music Race" keeps looking for talented singers all over the country. The decision on who will be started-up for a career and who will get a cold shower is always up to the three jurors: a once-popular singer, Olo (Maciej Zakoscielny), social media queen, Ewa (Julia Kaminska), and the dame of Polish jazz, Urszula Dudziak (playing herself). During an audition held in Olo's home town, there is a row. The person who starts it is "Ostra" (played by Katarzyna Sawczuk). The rebel teen is outraged by the juror's arrogant and dismissive behaviour towards her mother (Anita Sokolowska). The small scandal suits the show's producer (Tomasz Karolak), who pushes "Ostra" through to the next stage. There, it will turn out that the girl doesn't just have a fiery temper, but a great voice as well. Success, though, comes at a price. Being popular is not as pleasant as many people think. Our teenage hero will have to face a genuine test of integrity and character. The young star is about to take on her stage competition, the ruthless world of show business, and, most importantly, her own feelings.
