Vineta, the Phantom City
In a windswept seaside villa, Princess Maryna tends to the wounds of her past alongside her devoted son Leo. But their quiet existence shatters with the arrival of Waldemar, Maryna's estranged son from her first marriage, a rebellious young man shaped by years of neglect under the guardian Herr Witold. The family reunion at Villica, their ancestral seat, promises reconciliation but instead ignites old grievances and fierce competition between the two half-brothers. As social upheaval brews in the Polish horizon, Maryna must navigate the impossible terrain between maternal love and family duty, while her sons circle each other like strangers bound by blood. Werner constructs a haunting portrait of fractured nobility, where duty to family name wars with the desperate need for genuine connection, and the phantom of the past both haunts and defines who they might become.
