When we first meet Angelo Riccardo Leonelli, a dashing young Italian, he is deeply in love with Kasia Agata Buzek, a Polish woman who, despite the entreaties of both Angelo and her father, has decided to become a nun. Neither man can conceive of why she has chosen this path, but she remains determined. Holding out hope that he can sway her, Angelo moves to a city near the convent where Kasia is preparing to take her vows. He gets hired by a successful new company where he attracts the attentions of his ambitious and extremely attractive boss, Kris Agnieszka Grochowska a woman who will stop at nothing to reach the top. The stage is set for Zanussis exploration into not just what the new capitalism has wrought in Poland, but also how the old Poland still has a grip on the present.
