Originally banned for its perceived anti-establishment message, this DEFA masterpiece was re-released to great acclaim after the reunification of Germany. Foreman Balla is the swaggering, self-proclaimed king of a massive construction site, and his co-workers stick close to him like musketeers. But when a new Party Secretary is sent in to bring the site under control, along with a beautiful young engineer named Kati, a love triangle ensues.
