Краков, конец XIX века. Представители всех сословий Польши, разделенной между Австро-Венгрией, Германией и Россией, собираются в деревне на празднование мезальянса: молодой поэт женится на простой крестьянской девушке. Посреди веселья происходит классовое столкновение, вызванное изрядным подпитием и разрыванием рубах на груди. Действо переходит в гротеск, начинается фантасмагория и явь смешивается со сном. После выяснения отношений в духе "ты меня уважаешь?" и очередных возлияний все примиряются и встречают рассвет. Экранизация культовой польской пьесы Станислава Выспяньского. Первый фильм о славянских свадьбах и похоронах, породивший целую традицию от Кустурицы до Лунгина.
