AgitpropSynopsis
Three drama school students – a girl and two boys – are taken to a factory by the director’s service car, a Tatra 613. They were invited over to perform a variety show, composed of the committed revolutionary poetry by the German Bertolt Brecht, for the workers. The director would like to mark off one chore – a cultural program of sufficient political quality for the employees. He entrusts a “girl to the youth” to tend to the guests. She immediately uses the situation and interviews them for the factory magazine. Although the interview is rather formal, the students argue when answering. The workers in the conference room are then dismayed watching the cultural program: three young people endlessly screaming mottoes at them, calling for revolution. The entire event totally misses the target and the director decides to verify well in advance next time what program he should show his employees and who to entrust it to.
