The church community is appalled by a taboo breaking women's schola. Among those who strongly disapprove this choir is ...the cantor himself. The mysterious death is investigated by an experienced and uncompromising Superintendent Warski (Bartlomiej Topa), for whom saving human live means more than following the procedures. When he breaks the rules in another action, he is referred to a psychologists ( Malgorzata Foremniak). Hardly any man can resist the sex appeal of this outwardly cold but a beautiful woman... Superintendent Warski is not really happy when he finds out that Ana Wittesch ( Julia Kijowska), a German police officer of a Polish origin, is assigned to the case.

But it's not the whole truth...This is only known to Witecki ( Henryk Talar) a parish priest, the cantor's superior.
