The attack of the Colorado potato beetle on crops in the GDR, Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1950 was interpreted by the authorities as a planned American action against the Eastern Bloc. The Americans were to drop the Colorado beetle from planes which provided aid for the people of West Germany. Propaganda was spread everywhere – posters, radio, and cinema. In the film "Stonka", apart from propaganda and instructions, we could see some high-quality shots showing the beetle's life cycle. The voiceover’s commentary and the Colorado beetle close-ups make the production more dramatic. It is typical of nature films, in which the state television specialized later. Apart from the history of the pest, the potato is another protagonist of the film - its position in the Polish diet, agriculture, and customs. "

This film is a kind of experiment conducted by Artur Żmijewski on representatives of four social groups in Poland. He invited people associated with the left wing, elderly ladies strongly expressing their pro-church stance, young representatives of the Jewish minority, and members of the Młodzież Wszechpolska political group to participate in this project. The first task for each group was to create a symbol of the Polish state as they understood it. These symbols were then placed on T-shirts distributed to the project participants. This was followed by a confrontation between all the groups, together with the boards they had previously created with the symbol of Poland, during which further tasks received from the director were performed. Representatives of a given group could, for example, add something to another group's symbol or remove something from it, etc.
