The plot covers the affair between Chopin and feminist writer George Sand. Chopin's music is integral to the film, with pianist Janusz Olejniczak playing his works.[1] Two versions of the film were shot—in Polish and English—with British actors later lip-syncing the dialogue.[2] Antczak spent 25 years writing the screenplay and six years raising the budget for the film.[3]
The film was screened at Houston Film Festival in 2003 and won the Gold Award for Best Cinematography and the Platinum Award for Best Drama.[3]
