‘THIS PART OF LIFE BELONGS TO ME!’ SAYS JOLA – AN ECCENTRIC, COLORFULLY-DRESSED WOMAN, JUST UNDER SEVENTY. AFTER FIFTY YEARS, SHE DOES A BOLD MOVE – SHE ESCAPES ITALY, A MARITAL NIGHTMARE, AND MOVES BACK TO HER HOMETOWN SZCZECIN. THERE, SHE FINALLY LIVES THE LIFE SHE ALWAYS DREAMT OF: SHE DANCES, SINGS, WRITES POEMS AND SONGS. HER WRITINGS TELL STORIES OF LOVE SHE NEVER EXPERIENCED. FROM JOLA’S PERSPECTIVE, THE WORLD IS ROMANTIC, VIVID, DRAMATIC. ONE NIGHT, AT A CAFE’S DANCE FLOOR, SHE MEETS WOJTEK – AN OLDER MAN, WHO FALLS MADLY IN LOVE WITH HER. ALL HER FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE HER TO DIVORCE BOGDAN, AN ALCOHOLIC, WHO STAYED IN ITALY. ONLY THE PRIEST IS TRYING TO CHANGE HER MIND, STATING THAT SHE SHOULD FORGIVE HIM AND STAY FAITHFUL UNTIL THE END. JOLA IS HESITANT AND DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SHOULD SHE FACE THE DIFFICULTIES OF DIVORCE TO GET MARRIED AGAIN? OR MAYBE SHE SHOULD JUST SEIZE THE DAY AND NOT LOOK BACK? WILL SHE HAVE THE COURAGE TO LIVE HER OWN LIFE?
