The director is interviewing a group of small children about their knowledge about "where do the children come from". They are telling what knowledge they have from their parents. The children are telling a story about a stork, which brings children to their parents, which they know from their parents. The children do not believe in the story. They are trying to figure out what is unbelievable in the story. The director is also interviewing parents, who are telling they do not talk about reproduction and sex with their children. Some of them are pretending that their children do not ask about this topic. Others admit that children ask the questions but they do not want to talk with children about this topic. The director is saying that it would be better to talk with children, because otherwise they could get knowledge improperly, which can harm them. The director of the film says that when children ask it is a proof of their trust. The film can be read as an illustration of condition of sex education in Poland in 60s.
