Among the penguins living on a rocky island there was one who went on his own ways. He dreamed of rising into the air. After one of the unsuccessful attempts, he dropped into the water and caught a gold fish that turned him into a balloon for his wishes. Fascinated by the plane, he asked the fish to become a great machine. He flew around the world. He introduced confusion on air routes and disrupted the work of radars. Tired he returned to the island and fell like a dead man. After waking up, he happily joined the other penguins.

An elegiac documentary about Krzyżtopór Castle in the village of Ujazd, southern Poland. Built between 1627 and 1644 by Krzysztof Ossoliński. It was occupied until 1770 when it was destroyed by the Russian army during the military actions against the army of the Bar Confederation. Nowadays, the castle is classified as a permanent ruin. The film is a powerful meditation on lasting tradition and historical decline; The images are accompanied by a folk ballad about the castle’s history, performed by the village choir from Iwaniska.
