Directed by Miroslav Cikán, it captures that tense atmosphere of the post-war rebuilding era. You can feel the weight of their struggles as they try to resurrect a synthetic gasoline plant, with each scene dripping with the palpable tension of sacrifice and hope. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really soak in the emotional toll on these characters. Practical effects are effective, grounding the film in a harsh reality. The performances are pretty strong, reflecting the resilience and determination of the workers. It’s a distinctive piece that really illustrates the human spirit amidst the ruins of war.
