The collection contains one 8 mm film shot in 1973-1976 by Volodymyr Chornyi, editor and screenwriter, member of the National Union of Cinematographers of Ukraine.
The film documents the summer holidays of employees of the Oleksandr Dovzhenko Film Studio and their families, combining footage of their travels, the setup of a tent camp, leisure time together, and living in nature.
The main part of the material is devoted to collective trips to the Chernihiv region, near the village of Mnyov, where families spent their summer holidays in a tent camp in August: they cooked food, swam, fished, picked mushrooms, relaxed with their children, and participated in joint games and humorous skits. The film captures the process of transporting belongings, setting up camp, and the daily life of vacationers.
Some fragments were filmed in Kyiv and depict city walks, events honouring those who died in World War II at the Memorial of Eternal Glory, and the laying of flowers at monuments.
