The foehn wind in Podhale leaves destroyed houses and broken trees behind. The sudden change in the atmospheric pressure also impacts the well-being of people and animals. Fascinated with the mysterious element, the documentary authors have captured how a destructive windstorm can change the lives of several local residents. It also increases the activity of local fire brigades and the emergency service. Immersed in the incredible highlander culture, the film is thriller, as unpredictable as the wind itself.
