Her lyrical hits were performed by such greats as Jerzy Połomski, Sława Przybylska and Czerwone Gitary, but the one hit she is best known for is the famous song “Don’t Cry When I Am Gone” in the memorable performance by Mariono Marini. The film focuses on Wanda Sieradzka, a ghetto survivor who seized the moment, was the life of the party, a beauty hungry for male attention and, above all, an artist. She worked for television, got married twice, travelled extensively, wrote dozens of unforgettable songs, screenplays and poems. Wanda hated boredom as confirmed by the stories told by her son and friends.
