The motion picture from July 1956 is based on an actual case. It was the first to criticize the formulaic mechanisms of the 1950s, labour productivity competitions and it focused a spotlight on the vulnerability of workers. The careerist director (Ferenc Bessenyei) unexpectedly takes on his old engineering buddy (Miklós Gábor) who was recently released from prison. The project: completion of a grain silo as soon as possible. The blind drive for a fast result leads to the tower collapsing and two workers being buried beneath the rubble. Post-production of the parable-like film stretched out into the autumn, the uprising in October meant it could not be screened and it was subsequently banned for the next 30 years.
