Basia seems to have a perfect life as a housewife with her happy family. But when an opera singer with a great voice moves in upstairs, her life gets shaken upside down. Basia gets attracted to the voice of the singer, who in turn finds beauty and passion in Basia. Eventually, they fall in a deadly love. The most beautiful and thrilling part in this movie is the scene where the opera singer upstairs sings in harmony to the sound of Basia downstairs as she is making love to her husband.
