Nine-year-old Zuzia, together with the director, sets off on a journey through time, passing through various female archetypes, family weddings and divorces, until they reach the place where the director’s grandmother grew up. It is now an empty orchard, and Zuzia is now 18 years old and the first person in the family who does not want a church wedding.

In a small village in eastern Poland, right next to Zuzia’s family home, stands the cottage of the naturalist and filmmaker Włodzimierz Puchalski. In the 1970s, he filmed Zuzia’s grand-parents’ wedding, just as he used to film birds. The 35mm film, which he gave to the newlyweds as a gift, lay at the back of a wardrobe for 40 years, until nine years ago, when it came into the director’s possession. No one had ever seen this footage before.
