The author of the films is Franciszek Matug, born in 1926 in Zalasowa (Lesser Poland Voivodeship). A son of Maria and Błażej. He came from a peasant family. During the war, he fought in the Home Army units and Peasant Battalions. Immediately after the end of the war, he came to Niedomice (Lesser Poland Voivodeship) to work on the construction of the Cellulose Plant, where he met his future wife, Maria Sikora. In the 60s, he became a chemical engineer. In later years, he worked at the “Galwa” Haberdashery Products Plant in Tarnów. He died in a car accident in 1982.

Scenes from outside the Matug family’s home in Niedomice. The view of the house. In front of the fence, there is a parked car (Fiat 125p, “Duży Fiat”). Girls approach it. These are the neighbours’ daughters. They play in front of the house. They run, holding hands. On the path in front of the house, a cat walks by. Shots of houses and melting snow. Two men walk the road. View of buildings and fields. Birds in the sky.
