"I show my age by being old. I have the courage to show myself," says Wirginia, aka Vika. The retired special education teacher is known for being Poland's oldest DJane. Agnieszka Zwiefka's portrait of Vika is as captivating and multi-facetted as the special lady herself. Her invigorating take on life unites the joys and challenges of being an independent woman in her 80s with a liberating devotion to the miracle of music. VIKA! treats widowhood, loneliness, female empowerment and the fight against constricting age norms. The film is an impressive testament to the fact that older individuals are part of the past, but equally part of the present as well.
