The series is a picture of the formation of the Zakopane community and the entire Podhale region, seen through the prism of historical and socio-economic changes over the years 1825-1918. The plot of the episodes shows: events of social and historical importance on the symbolic example of a highlander family - the Gąsienica family; and "human" matters - the great ones, such as love, death, murder, and the ordinary, everyday ones, such as work, struggle for existence, entertainment and fun.
