Based on the novel The Melody of Coffee in the Tone of Cardamom by Natalia Gurnitskaya.

The series is set in the nineteenth century. A young Ukrainian girl Anna and a married Polish nobleman Adam meet during the revolution of 1848-1849 and fall in love. All life circumstances are against them. But the characters will try to fight for the right to be together, even though they will have to go through pain, loss, and public condemnation.

Season 2: Cardamom Coffee. The Power of the Earth

A distance of 769 kilometres is what separates a bakery in Kyiv from New York, an occupied town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. This is where bread baked by people with mental disabilities ends up. Although they struggle with their own difficulties, their work saves locals in frontline territories, in war-torn areas cut off from supplies. The bakery is a refuge where workers can become part of a larger community, which empowers them. In wartime, there is no room for labels or social divisions – only actions matter.
