description

The author of the film is Antoni Milewski, who filmed the family-life events with a quarz zoom camera, bought in a Kielce photoshop. 

The film was made in 1975 in Kielce during a walk in Kielce’s Kadzielnia. There are: Antoni with his colleague, Stanisław (Staś), and his daughters (Agnieszka and Ewa). On the site of the former quarry, there is a nature sanctuary with several caves, and an amphitheater built there in 1971. The girls stand behind a closed gate, waiting for Stanisław and Antoni. The author of the film mentions that he does not remember how they managed to enter the area which was closed that day. Staś with Agnieszka and Ewa walk by the now non-existent Szmaragdowe Lake. The man encourages the daughters to run to make the film more interesting. After reaching the amphitheater, the girls play on stage, instructed by their dad, who sits in the audience. After the performances, Stanisław and his daughters continue their walk around Kadzielnia. Girls run and fool around.
