The 17th century, the reign of King W艂adys艂aw IV. The half-siblings of Stanis艂aw and Anna O艣wi臋cim have been linked by love since childhood. During the feast, a conflict arises between Stanis艂aw and Zebrzydowski, Anna's competitor. Stanis艂aw is wounded in a duel. Anna bandages him in her room. There is a rapprochement between them. Stanis艂aw leaves for the Vatican to obtain a dispensation from the Pope for a wedding with Anna. Meanwhile, Anna repents, misses, prays and refuses to eat. Not a single word is spoken in the movie. The mood is built by Kar艂owicz's music.
