It follows the story of Lucy Wilska, a Polish-American who has inherited her grandmother's country home in the fictional small village of Wilkowyje. She arrives in Wilkowyje with intent to sell the cottage but, after seeing the charm of the village, decides to stay. Characters Lucy Wilska – an American of Polish descent, who inherits her grandmother's manor house in a small village Wilkowyje in eastern Poland. She's optimistic, honest, kind and brave in willing to act to improve the world around her. She befriends Kusy, who lives in a cottage next to her house and the two soon start a relationship.

After leaving the office she temporarily returns to the United States and returns to Poland in the last episode. Jakub "Kusy" Sokołowski – a former famous abstract painter, who went through a breakdown and fell into alcoholism after the death of his first wife. Early in the series, he lives in a cottage next to Lucy's manor and helps her in its renovation. He soon fells in love with Lucy but doesn't believe himself to be worthy of her and even rejects her when she confesses she's in love with him as well. For a short time he dates Violetka. He and Lucy become a couple in Season 3 and marry in Season 4. Under Lucy's influence, Kusy quits drinking and paints again, which no one in the town understands. He pursues an artist career in later seasons with help of an art agent Monika. He's smart, highly educated and brave - in one episode he organizes the whole town's defense against the mob. He's also emotional and chivalrous, more than once getting violent in defence of Lucy and her good name. His real name wasn't revealed until Season 4 and everyone in town refers to him as "Kusy". Lucy herself didn't find out his real name until the day of their wedding, and even after that she still always calls him "Kusy". Piotr Kozioł – the parish priest of Wilkowyje's Roman Catholic Church and twin brother of Mayor Paweł Koziol. Unlike his brother, he is respected and has friendly relations with most people in the village.
