Synopsis:
Foreman Hannes Balla leads a group of twenty workers in a state-owned construction site. Even though they work hard, they know how to have a good time and sometimes can be even vulgar about it. Therefore, the Party sends the secretary Werner Horrath to keep an eye on them and try to discipline them. Besides him, the other newcomer on the building site is the young and ambitious technician Kati. Soon, a love triangle forms. Three days after the premiere, the film was banned and unavailable for viewing until October 1989.
