The year 1945. Zofia Szablewska, a repatriate from the east, arrives in former Breslau, now Wrocław. She lives in a post-German villa - Dom pod Dwoma Orły. Zofia's roommate is Jan Liski, an officer of the Security Office, who is raising his stepson, Kazia, on his own. Through the Red Cross, Zofia is looking for her husband Antoni and son Zbyszek, with whom she lost contact during the war. The commemorative clock left by the Germans evokes memories of her family Kresy, the Nowosioło estate and the beginning of her love with a Polish settler - Antoni. In the same house, almost half a century later, the elderly Grandma Zofia meets Paul, the fiancé of her granddaughter, Marianna. Even though Paul is an American, he has the same surname as Szablewski. The identity of the names and the fact that Paul's grandfather also came from Kresy cause Grandma Zofia to behave mysteriously and ask about details from the past of Paul's family.
