The documentary opens with the return of Warsaw residents after the war – people walking in rags among the ruins. In time, life comes back to the city. “The 50s are a time of constant openings” – a tram line, an entertainment venue in the Polonia Hotel. The first fashion shows and hairdressing competitions are organised. News about fashion and trends from Western Europe reaches Warsaw.

The film talks about women's participation in World War II. Former female soldiers, nurses and liaison officers tell about their wartime fates. Today they are directors, secretaries, lecturers and saleswomen.

In just twenty and a few minutes, the exhibition's message was captured - the heritage of the centuries and the image of the historically changing Polish identity.
