In 1990 Poland, singer Weronika feels that she is “not alone in the world”. And indeed, her double is living in France – Véronique. The two almost meet in Krakow, but Véronique is already riding off in a tour bus. Unbeknownst to her, she has inadvertently photographed Weronika. Véronique is also a singer and, like her Polish counterpart, she also suffers from a heart condition. But while Weronika gives her life for song, Véronique gives up singing and becomes a music teacher. At a puppet show, she falls in love with a puppeteer. When he calls her a few nights later, Véronique suddenly hears the song that Weronika sang just before her death.<br /> The magic triangle of Krzysztof Kieślowski, actor Irène Jacob and composer Zbigniew Preisner gives off an incandescent light. Using just a few historical anchors, the director takes ownership of the French post-modern style. Open to a variety of interpretations, the “affairs of the heart” depicted in the film, and the glowing golden light in both Poland and Paris, can be interpreted as the director’s visions – of a latent spiritual kinship, but also as an aesthetic convergence between East and West Europe.
