About the film
Pawel the inventor of a sensational radio, is in trouble because he cannot find anyone who wants to take on the production of his wonderful invention. In contrast, Violetta is in trouble, because although she is old enough to be married, she must pretend to be a child prodigy. As an adult violinist, she would never attract such a large audience, and the money is needed to pay off family debts.
Violetta falls in love with Pawel, who, initially does not pay any attention to her − after all she is only a child... But when she reveals herself to him in all her full adult glory, he loses his head for her. Despite many obstacles, misunderstandings and twists of fate, Pawel’s invention eventually garners interest, and the young couple find their way to the altar.
