This black and white Bulgarian social drama was filmed in 1965, but wasn't released until 1989. In it, Pepa Nikolova plays a nonconformist girl who has been sent to a construction brigade in hopes that she will absorb some of her coworker's good, Marxist thinking. Instead, she exposes their double dealing, corruption, hypocrisy, and complete betrayal of the good communist ideals of which, ironically, she is a better exemplar than those she was sentenced to work with.
