Episodic film that traces the developments in a small village from 1948 through the 60's. Forced collectives and tyranny gradually eat the heart out of the people.
Some of this was played as farce or eastern European humor which seems to be the same thing. Many beautiful landscape shots. We don't spend enough time with each individual to get to know them well enough but the overall effect of the Moscow-controlled politics was clear...and sadly destructive.
This film was finished just before the 1968 invasion by Russia and was squashed for decades.
