Ksawery is a dancer, who performs on the stage as a drag queen. He goes to the country to visit his grandfather Jan, who hides a dark secret burdening him since the Holocaust. Ksawery and his friend Karolina plan a painful confrontation with Jan on his past, but Ksawery has doubts. Secret seems like a film about wrongdoers and victims, but in fact it depicts unbreakable ties connecting generations — for good and for worse.
