Proprietarii (1973)

Overview

An industrial drama centered on the false reports submitted to higher supervisory authorities by the management of a factory, which had previously secured the protection of a high-ranking party official. These deceptions are accompanied by efforts to suppress the initiatives of a young engineer who proposes replacing mechanical excavators with hydraulic ones. The protagonist fights for his ideas and ultimately succeeds in imposing them when the First Secretary of the County Party Committee intervenes, leading to the exposure of the factory’s failures, the triumph of the “new,” and a proper understanding of the concept of “socialist property.
