84-year-old Vika is a star of the Warsaw clubbing scene. A charismatic

DJ and a colorful bird surrounds herself with young people, repeating that age is just a number. But when her health suddenly begins to deteriorate, Vika can no longer deny the passing of time. Will she find meaning in sharing the joy of life with other seniors by encouraging them to live their lives to the fullest?

“Vika!” is a bittersweet portrait of a woman who intends to celebrate life to the very end, a true inspiration both for silver generation and our future selves.
