Film presents the world of people living in a lost village of Nowica, in the Beskids. It is going to be a story about the world, which no longer exists and there are only few traces of it left. The world of Lemkos will speak to us from the screen, it will be seen in the orthodox church’s architecture, heard in the liturgy songs and in the language.. On the other hand, it will be also a story about a present day, therefore about the people, who try to save old values and the old world, for whom the constant admiration of the miracle of creation is the essence of life. That is why fulfilling everyday needs is not enough for them. They seek beauty and meaning in simple things.

This film will have a philosophical dimension, it will help to see life from the totally different perspective. It shows completely different approach to life comparing with what media present. Not success, career and money are important, but the whole beauty of the world and another human being.
