Véronique and Weronika are two young women leading totally separate lives in France and Poland, yet each strangely aware of the other's presence. Despite their different backgrounds, the two share not only many of the same likes, foibles and prodigious musical talents, but also the same wisdom, inspiring one to unconsciously avoid making the same mistakes in life as the other.
Weronika embraces each aspect of her life with zeal. She has many friendships, sexual and platonic, and a variety of interests. A serious heart ailment, however, debilitates her periodically, but she refuses to let it hold her back. On her way to a singing contest, she sees a woman who is her physical double. Weronika tries to catch the look-alike's attention, but fails.
The second woman, Véronique, is also a gifted singer yet she rejects this talent to teach at a primary school. Eventually she, too, senses the presence of another force in her life, but it isn't until Alexandre, a writer and puppeteer, appears that she finally recognises this for certain.
A transcendent, lyrical and enigmatic tale of duality and yearning.
