Two teenage girls ― Golden and Silver ― find themselves right in the centre of the world of Warsaw dancing parties, vibrant with music, and shimmering with neon lights and sequins, in 1980s. And they are not just some ordinary girls, but sirens, who are trying to taste and understand what it is like to be a woman in the environment around them. They join a band of musicians that go by the name of Figi i Daktyle (Figs and Dates) and become the next big thing in the night life of the capital city, just overnight. Absorbed with love and arising desires, they forget about their true nature for just a moment. But it only takes one broken heart to let the situation spin out of control...
