Overview
Films with a work theme, which still proclaimed that work should be the first need of man, underwent only a gradual development. The clash of stagnant, fearful thinking with innovative methods, albeit in a significantly modified form, is nevertheless preserved. In this case, we find ourselves in a machine tool factory, where manual labor is to be replaced by robotic equipment. This provides a rare chance to see this forgotten film, which the audience completely ignored - at the time of its creation, it was seen by about a thousand people.
