A propaganda story about rural Poland, thoroughly saturated with the tenets and poetics of social realism. The film debut of Jerzy Kawalerowicz, winner of the Platinum Lions Award for lifetime achievement at the Feature Films Festival in Gdynia in 2007. Kawalerowicz was a longtime director of film production and distribution company Studio Filmowe Kadr, as well as founder and first president of the Polish Filmmakers Association. A simple and unambiguous story of the shaping of class consciousness of the eponymous “community” and the fight against opponents of the new social order.
