Who was Simona Kossak really - the legendary researcher who lived surrounded by animals in the Białowieża Forest? Why did she run away from her family - the famous Kossak family? What was the life of the first Polish ecologist-activist in the 1970s? Unique, often presented for the first time in the film, photos and recordings from the archives of Simona and her partner Lech Wilczek take us to the primeval Forest and allow us to experience a unique life away from civilization. Simona was the favorite of a raven terrorizing the area, she was a mother of lynx and elks, and her empathetic approach to animals and plants not only allowed us to see the Białowieża Forest as a world-unique ecosystem, but also helps us understand that we are roommates on Earth and we should let other creatures live. . This colorful, uncompromising visionary ahead of her time often had to fight alone for good and respect for nature.
