Two friends, 18-year-olds Bogo and Rychu, are faced with the choices of adolescence. Both have problems with women. Bogo is the "tough guy" type, who - convinced of his own effectiveness in picking up girls - pays no attention to the means used. Rychu is a dreamer, a lost victim of fate; he has never had a girlfriend before. Bogo decides to help.
Maidens and Widows is an epic tale of a hundred years of Polish history from the perspective of women, the titular maidens and widows. Set against the backdrop of turbulent historical events.
