Based on a series of tales written by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer between 1901 and 1912, which become the heritage of the Tatra mountain people, the film concentrates on the tales that give a choral portrait of the mountain culture. It digs into the legendary events and popular tradition handed down by word of mouth by the inhabitants of the Podhale region. Perpetually balanced between reality and fantasy, in keeping with the canons of magical realism, it tells about a young man who reaches the town of Zakopane and finds himself unwillingly involved in a confusion of events that are repeated, in only a partly new way, every ten years.
