About Ród Gąsieniców
The series is a picture of the formation of the Zakopane community and the entire Podhale region, seen through the prism of historical and socio-economic changes over the years 1825-1918. The plot of the episodes shows: events of social and historical importance on the symbolic example of a highlander family - the Gąsienica family; and "human" matters - the great ones, such as love, death, murder, and the ordinary, everyday ones, such as work, struggle for existence, entertainment and fun.
Directed by Konrad Nałęcki, Ród Gąsieniców leans on a strong ensemble — Krzysztof Majchrzak, Franciszek Pieczka, Krzysztof Pietrykowski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1981.
