Weronika, a Polish choir soprano, and her double, Véronique, a French music teacher. Though unknown to each other, the two women share an enigmatic, emotional bond, which Kieślowski details in gorgeous reflections, colors, and movements. Aided by Slawomir Idziak's shimmering cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner's haunting, operatic score, Kieślowski creates one of cinema's most purely metaphysical works.

ವೆರೋನಿಕ್‌ಫ್ರೆಂಚ್ ಸಂಗೀತ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕಿ. ಪೋಲೆಂಡಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ವೆರೋನಿಕಾ ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ಗಾಯಕಿ. ಇಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಸಾಮ್ಯತೆ ಇದ್ದು ಗುರಿ ಸಾಧನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಗೂ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಬ್ಬರದೂ ಒಂದೇ ಭಾವನೆ. ಇಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಭಾವನಾತ್ಮಕ ಬಂಧವೊಂದು ಏರ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಬಹುಕಾಂತೀಯ ಪ್ರತಿಫಲನಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಬಣ್ಣಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಚಲನೆಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಕಿಸ್ಲೋವ್‌ಸ್ಕಿ ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಕೃತಿಯಾಗಿಯೂ ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿರುವ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರ ಭಾವನೆಗಳ ಮರೆಯಲಾಗದ ಸ್ವರಮೇಳವಾಗಿದೆ.
