description

This collection of films was recorded by a married couple, Paweł and Joanna Morzyszek. Amateur films shot on 8 mm and Super 8 film reels document family life: celebrations, holidays, vacations, and travels. The archive covers materials from a 20-year period, from 1968 to 1988, which allow us to follow the growing up of Paweł and Joanna’s children – Ewa and Tomek – and their granddaughters – Agata and Anna.

The film was made in 1980.
Part 1
A series of short shots presenting Agatka: Ewa and Jacek are teaching her to walk, pinning a bow in her hair, and, together with an elderly woman, they keep her company during walks on the balcony. Agatka is collecting pebbles and throwing them into an aluminum bucket.
Part 2
Shots taken at the summer plot in Włodzimierzów. Ewa is reading a letter while sitting on the terrace rail, Jacek is cleaning a bicycle with a cloth. Agatka is playing with her mom, and later walking with her dad. She stops to look at the flowers in front of the house.
Part 3
The family is relaxing on deck chairs at the plot. Those present include Ewa, Jacek, Agatka, Jola, Marian, Jadzia, and Paweł. Agatka is swaying in a hammock and playing with a ball.
