An old woman lives alone in a large empty house, without human contact, which she seeks in higher spheres. And finally, a young mother with two children.

The visually captivating film Proměny follows four different characters whose lives intertwine only slowly and randomly. The individual fates and the plot culminate, and the film's bold concept inevitably leads to a final clash. What must happen for life to be different than before?
