Red lipstick, bold clothes and jewellery. Finally this new Jola can fulfil what was previously just a dream. The Polish woman leaves her violent husband and sets out, as if reborn, into the next phase of her life. “At least half of Polish men beat their wives,” she says and with a serious expression remembers how she got pregnant when young and married the wrong man. Now in the time left, she’s trying to catch up with all of life’s joys. She goes to the beach with friends and has signed up for a singing and dancing course. Here she meets Wojtek, a true gentleman who treats her like a queen. Feelings are mutual, and so Jola, in this visually engaging film, asks a crucial question. Should I try one more time or are all men essentially the same?
