DESCRIPTION

After graduation from the university, Marian Grzyb returns to Wydmuchów, a village where he grew up. Back there, he faces a reality as if from another era: residents keep waging local battles, are suspicious of any authority and written documents and fall to old superstitions. Being an ambitious man, Grzyb goes on to modernize his native village and turns it into a modern holiday resort, assisted by the local farmers. But, apparently, holidaymakers from the city have different ideas of the provincial countryside they would like to visit… A hilarious adaptation of a novel by Edward Redliński written by the author himself.
