Mołtajny in Masuria is a small, post-collectivization village, where time has stopped. Among the beautiful natural landscapes live here people without perspectives. However, enormous poverty and unemployment appears to the viewer as if from the background of the film - the first is the world of children's games, shown through the eyes of the director's son, Johnny. Together with their friends they collect snails, learn how to ride a bike and organize contests in spitting at a distance. They repeat what their parents teach and sometimes resemble a tiny copy of adults.
