Vika, who is 84, is one of the eldest DJs in the world. Because of her attitude, she is far from any stereotypes about senior citizens. Adored and surrounded by a young audience, she prooves that age is just a number. Her life is filled with music, dance and unconstrained joy, but there is a dark side of this story. To fulfil her dreams, Vika made decisions that left a mark on her relationship with her own family. The most recent film by Agnieszka Zwiefka is a bittersweet documentary musical about consistence in following your own path and fighting for your dreams.
