Jagna is a humble woman forced to marry a wealthy and much older farmer named Boryna, even though she is in love with his son, Antek. Over time, she becomes the object of envy and hatred of the villagers, and she has to fight to preserve her independence. Set in the Polish countryside during the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, the dramatic twists of the story are related to the passing of the seasons, the hard work in the fields and the traditional local festivals.
