Interesting, somewhat primitive film about the travails of a rural village fighting to retain it's sense of community in the face of encroaching modernity. The hero is the local electrician whose main job is helping neighbors steal electricity from the grid.
The film is saved by the lead. He has a cherubic face, is helpful, lovable, always smiling...the kind of guy anyone would like to have around. He represents the best of the common folk. His life and, by extension all our lives, takes a nasty turn when he thwarts the plans of the local big man.
Worth it.
