A TV adaptation of Władysław Stanisław Reymont's most famous novel, realistically depicting Polish rural life at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Against the broad backdrop of rural community life, inextricably linked to the rhythm of nature throughout the four seasons, the complicated and often dramatic story of the Boryna family unfolds.

At the turn of the century, Lodz, Poland, was a quick-paced manufacturing center for textiles, replete with cutthroat industrialists and unsafe working conditions. Three young friends, a Pole, a Jew, and a German, pool their money together to build a factory.

Directed by Zbigniew Gniazdowski and Aleksander Hertz.

The film was made under the terms of the partition agreement and with the participation of Władysław Reymont. However, numerous cuts and alterations detracted from the film's educational intent. Only Mieczysław Frenkel, who made his screen debut with this film, received praise. The film has not survived to this day, all copies burned during World War II.

A nine-episode television series directed by Jerzy Sztwiertnia in 1988. The screenplay is based on the novel of the same name by Władysław Reymont (episodes 1–6) and on the sequel to "Komediantka", "Fermenty" (episodes 7–9). The series was produced simultaneously with the film version titled "Komediantka." The action takes place in the second half of the 19th century. It tells the tragic story of Janka, who abandons everything and embarks on a career as an actress. Her complicated life and stage failures lead her to a tragic end.

In a bucolic Polish hamlet, the tense relationship between a father and son reaches a boiling point when the men lose their hearts to the same woman and vie for her affections. Based on Wladyslaw Reymont's Nobel Prize-winning book and helmed by Jan Rybkowski, this theatrical release (starring Krzystof Chamiec, Wladyslaw Hancza and Emilia Krakowska) was culled from a 13-episode miniseries that aired on Polish television in 1972.
