Barbara i Natalia. Siostry z Polski, mieszkające w małej wiosce Przybówka.
Ich najbliższa rodzina to nie tylko mama i tata. To także - a może przede wszystkim - konie, owce, kozy, krowy, świnie, kury, gęsi, psy, koty i alpaka. Każdy ma imię. Każdy jest ważny. Każdy jest częścią rodziny.
Żyją w harmonii z naturą i tym, co ich otacza. Ich dywanem jest trawa, ich łóżkiem są kwieciste pola, a ich zasłonami są drzewa kołyszące się na wietrze.
Pomimo młodego wieku, znają wieś z każdej strony - idyllicznej i realistycznej. Pięknej i odpychającej. Łagodnej i brutalnej.

Barbara and Natalia. Sisters from Poland, living in the small village of Przybówka.
Their immediate family is not just mom and dad. These are also - and perhaps above all - horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, geese, dogs, cats and alpaca. Everyone has a name. Everyone is important. Everyone is part of the family.
They live in harmony with nature and what surrounds them. Their carpet is grass, their bed is flower fields, and their curtains are trees swaying in the wind.
Despite their young age, they know the village from every side - idyllic and realistic. Beautiful and repulsive. Gentle and brutal.
