A wealthy landowner, Ewelina, like many other Polish ladies, decides to follow her beloved man, Jan Darski, there. She is not even stopped by the despair of her only beloved daughter, Karolina, who cannot imagine her life without her mother. Ewelina reaches Jan. She takes care of a broken man, and after the suicide of her husband, Cyprian, she marries Darski. Soon Jan dies, and Ewelina, raped before leaving, returns to Poland. Years later, an adult Karolina meets her mother by chance, meets her half-sister, Suzana. Ewelina, Karolina and Suzane live together, but not for long. After an argument with her mother, who tries to prevent Karolina from having a relationship with the playboy Edward Borski, the daughter leaves the house with her beloved. Karolina, just like her mother years ago, follows her beloved deported to Russia. Upon her arrival, she experiences an unpleasant disappointment. Borski has drunk himself, maintains intimate contacts with a local girl, and treats Karolina very brutally. A young woman dies, giving birth to a daughter - Ewelina. The orphaned Ewelina, thanks to the kindness of strangers, is brought from Russia to now free Poland, to her mother's family home. She is replaced by Ewelina, who loves her like her own child, Suzane. During the occupation, Ewelina gives birth to a child - daughter Zuzanna. She is being raised by herself because she has abandoned her husband, a mediocre stage actor who collaborated with the Germans. After the war, Ewelina, a landowner by birth, was taken to a Russian camp. Years later he returns to Poland and finds Zuzanna. Ewelina dies of a heart attack on December 13, 1981 - after a martial law patrol has forced the door of her apartment. Zuzanna and her husband, an activist of "Solidarity", leave for Paris after being interned. Even though they made their lives there, they return, mainly thanks to Susanna, to Poland. Susanna visits her family, devastated manor. Your home now. . . Written by ron_whisky See less
