Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Two quarreling peasant families, homeless war refugees from the eastern part of Poland, are settled by chance on two neighboring farms. Before the war Karguł’s cow had got into Pawłak’s meadow. As a result, two barns were burned down, blood was spilled, and Jaśko Pawłak, the eldest son, had to emigrate to the United States. Now he comes back, as John, and finds the two families living in peace and harmony. They try to convince John that things have changed. It was the turbulent love between the peasants’ children, Witi and Jadźka, that eventually brought the feuding families together. One of the most popular and acclaimed Polish comedies, partially based upon the screenwriter's family story. Initially shot in black-and-white, the color version was made in 2000 by a private TV station.
