Each of us is matched somewhere in the world, by our exact double - someone who shares our thoughts and dreams.

Overview

Véronique is a beautiful young French woman who aspires to be a renowned singer; Weronika lives in Poland, has a similar career goal and looks identical to Véronique, though the two are not related.
