After the World War II, new residents are moving into a Lower Silesian village. In a house that formerly belonged to Germans they discover precious objects that belonged to the former inhabitants, among them – a beautiful doll. Who was its owner? What were their fates?

Johanna is a porcelain doll, a mute witness to the story of three girls, who never met each other. Hela, Lisa, and Sara come from different times and backgrounds. Nationality, wealth, and character makes them different. A beautiful doll, good children’s hearts, and experiencing war, fear, and persecution unite them.

Performance accompanied with live music. Improviser and avant-gardist Jacek Mazurkiewicz assembles the sounds together basing on emotional impressions. Combining acoustic music with electronics he looks for new sounds.
