Synopsis
As World War I draws to a close, a group of clairvoyants committed to restoring Polish independence gather in a hotel room for a special séance, using their power to save Jan Paderewski, the legendary pianist and symbolic leader of a successful patriotic rebellion, the famous Wielkopolska Uprising. At the same time, a hostile medium hired by the Prussian army is trying to influence Paderewski with his negative power. The eerily whirring table becomes the centre of an unfolding melodrama, giving birth to a love requiring the highest sacrifice of all.
