Wołowiec, a village in the Beskid mountains, once had eight hundred inhabitants. One group after another vanished: poor emigrants seeking luck across the ocean, visionary oil prospectors, Jews, Roma, Lemkos. Today a few people live in the space they left. The author, one of them, tells the village's history and pays tribute to its nature and its people.
