This film is an attempt to present the story of Variete — a legendary New Wave band from Bydgoszcz, formed in 1983. It has been active ever since. This colourful documentary features, among others, Paweł Kukiz, Marek Wiernik, Tomek Budzyński and Walter Chełstowski — all of them comment on Variete and the New Wave movement of the 1980s.

Dariusz Landowski is a musician and author of music videos and documentaries about music. He has played in Kredki — a band from Bydgoszcz — for 15 years. He took his interest in films quite unexpectedly, when he needed to make the first music video for Kredki. This resulted in the directing of Pewien facet and Migocenia (both in 1996) and many more. In 2009, he made Kredką pomazane — a documentary that commemorated 16 years of the band’s existence.
