Irene Jacob plays the roles of two women–Veronika is Polish, and Veronique is French–who appear linked in their parallel, yet separate, lives. Both suffer from heart problems, and both have singing talents and aspire to have careers in music. Veronika ignores her health, but Veronique does get treatment for her heart problems. Veronika wins a singing competition, and later is scheduled to perform with a symphony. But on the night of her performance, she suffers a heart attack and dies. Now, the scene shifts to Veronique who gives up her singing ambitions and becomes a school teacher–as if she unconsciously learned from Veronika's mistakes.
