A nine-episode television series directed by Jerzy Sztwiertnia in 1988. The screenplay is based on the novel of the same name by Władysław Reymont (episodes 1–6) and on the sequel to "Komediantka", "Fermenty" (episodes 7–9). The series was produced simultaneously with the film version titled "Komediantka." The action takes place in the second half of the 19th century. It tells the tragic story of Janka, who abandons everything and embarks on a career as an actress. Her complicated life and stage failures lead her to a tragic end.
Janka is staying with Hela Halder, and together with a friend, she visits local writer Stabrowska. Grzesikiewicz arrives to pick her up and take her to Bukowiec, where her seriously ill father is waiting for her. Together, they drive Orłowski to the Bonifratry Hospital in Warsaw. Janka and Grzesikiewicz, now reconciled, marry, travel to Italy, and then settle in Krasnowa. Witowski is a frequent guest at their home. Janka struggles to cope as a housewife in Krasnowa and doesn't always communicate with her husband's parents. The situation changes when their first son is born. Głogowski visits Janka. Seeing that she has become a changed woman, he leaves Krasnowa, saying goodbye, perhaps forever.
