The writer Jan Kellert - the author of the widely known book "The Legend of the Vistula", which is part of the canon of pre-war middle school reading, comes from Lublin to Żmurki, where he spent the occupation. The division of the Żmurki estate is to take place the next day. The welcome dinner becomes an opportunity to exchange political views and a critical view of the manor's inhabitants on the current situation.
