Ela Malwina, a rebellious artist struggling with the deep gray everyday life of Poland in the 1980’s, including family problems and personal demons originating in bipolar disorder.

Imago is a post-punk psychological drama about a young woman craving life amidst the greyness of the communist Polish People's Republic - a story about the bond between a mother and a daughter, the hunger for freedom, sex and meditation. The story begins in the Tricity in 1987 and concludes in 1989, after Poland’s first free elections. The story's backdrop is the rebellious Tricity music scene of the late 1980s, a cultural and social phenomenon of the period and a harbinger of revolutionary changes in Poland. Imago is a powerful and resounding piece of cinema about the various shades of transformation and a portrait of a woman unlike any other in the history of the Polish cinema.
