Archive footage from the Educational Film Studio in Łódź originally used as a didactic and propaganda tool in communist Poland forms a collage that opens up new creative opportunities for the women involved. The film tells the story of a matriarchal family grappling with the issues of kinship, identity and reproduction. The voice-over refers to the prehistoric goddess Baba Yaga, who was metamorphosed into a witch under patriarchal Christianity.
