In the heart of Lviv, there is a house with a very special stained glass window. Here live four women who love each other as much as they hate each other. They are united by their desire for freedom, their rebelliousness, and their unfortunate loves. Until the day that changes everything: Marianna is shot in broad daylight. From the window, her daughter watches as the funeral procession turns into a demonstration. Marianna was not only a celebrated singer at the Lviv Opera but also an activist in the fight for an independent Ukraine. Years later, a man stands under the same window, bringing Marianna's daughter closer to her hometown and her mother, who died far too young. Against the backdrop of the tumultuous history of the city of Lviv, which has been influenced by various political powers for centuries, Anna Sloniowska tells the story of four strong women from four generations.
