The film features footage of family leisure activities in the mountains, at the ‘Vysoky Zamok’ (High Castle) park and at a fencing tournament.
1) 00:00:00 – 00:01:50 — Handmade title: ‘Tatariv 1973’ (translated from Polish). Sledging down a frozen hill on makeshift sledges and a log. ‘We went with friends of the family. There were five of us children and four adults. It was a frozen stream. It was winter; the temperature was around minus 20 degrees.” Commentary by Malgorzata Rushel.
2) 00:01:51 – 00:02:19 — Leisure time in a room in the house. Malgorzata Rushel and a woman are drying the washing-up. The woman and a young man are reading books. The young man is pretending to be asleep.
3) 00:02:20 – 00:03:11 — Footage taken during a bus journey. The ‘Berkut’ hotel and restaurant complex on the Yablunytsia Pass in the Carpathians. Holidaymakers on their way down the slopes on skis. Passengers inside the bus.
4) 00:03:12 – 00:06:33 — A family walk in the mountains: along a forest path and the ascent to the pass. “So we went to Hoverla. It must have been around May. Probably during the spring holidays. It was already winter there, but it was already warm where we were. We were so excited we filmed everything around us. And those long journeys along the road.” Commentary by Malgorzata Rushel.
5) 00:06:34 – 00:06:55 — The family in the yard of the house. Barbara by the washbasin. The man is repairing the car.
6) 00:06:56 – 00:14:15 — The snow-capped peak of Hoverla. Early spring flowers. Footage taken during a car journey with mountain scenery. A stop by a mountain river. A game of snowballs. Crocuses. Mountain peaks in the snow. Mountain streams. A landscape with wooden cottages. A game of volleyball. In the river. “It’s April. There’s snow somewhere. The lads went for a swim anyway. Then they had to treat their kidneys. Because of the cold water. But it was one of those exceptionally warm days back then.” Commentary by Malgorzata Rushel.
7) 00:14:16 – 00:21:22 — 1968. A fencing tournament featuring Krzysztof Shymansky, Malgorzata’s cousin on her mother’s side. “It was on Zelena Street, at the fencing school. It was his first competition. Well, of course we had to film it. He fenced a bit, then gave it up.” Comment by Malgorzata Rushel.
8) 00:21:23 – 00:22:23 — Malgorzata Rushel at rhythmic gymnastics school. “I did rhythmic gymnastics at primary school. Then I fell ill. We must have caught jaundice from there. Because we met another girl from that group in hospital. And we carried on going there even after that. That was here, at the palace near the university, in the House of Scientists. And then we trained on Stryska Street, in that Polytechnic sports hall. The old one, the one with the swimming pool. There were even some competitions there; I’ve even got a certificate for third place somewhere.” Comment by Malgorzata Rushel.

Plaits were then abruptly banned. They blackmailed me because I wanted to go to the swimming pool, but they [my parents] wanted to cut my hair because it was so thin. And I wouldn’t let them cut my plaits. They blackmailed me, saying I could go to the swimming pool, but only after my plaits had been cut off.” Commentary by Malgorzata Rushel.
