description

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.

A short shot of the construction of the Cellulose Plant in Niedomice. Shots from outside the Matug family’s home in Niedomice. Magdalena (Franciszek Matug’s daughter) swung by her grandmother, Maria, on a garden swing. Maria with her granddaughter, Magdalena, and a girl from the neighbourhood (Ala) stand in front of the house. Children play in the garden [Magdalena with her brothers (Olek and Staszek) and their neighbour (Ala)]. The Office of the Cellulose Plant. Dark, blurred shots. The interior of the room. On the wall, we can see the emblem with an eagle and two men at the desk. The men leave the building. A car pulls up. Sitting men (probably shots from a meeting at the plant).
