Documentary film. Actors and outsiders introduced to a beautiful small town in Silesia spend a month preparing for a major festival, together with local residents. Joint labour, conversation, and just passing time together - these factors dominated the life of Chełmsko Śląskie, its market square and adjacent streets. For one summer month, Chełmsko became the setting of a film about the perfect town.

This film is an attempt at creating a special place - a town where life is good. Where people know each other, tolerate each other's weaknesses, and meet to talk or just sit together for a while.
