The story concerns Jozef Malesa. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer.

An excellent little film about a former Communist party worker whose initial idealism for the party is dampened by the bureaucracy and unfairness he sees all around him. What works so nicely about the film is the spoken words of lost idealism combined with the evident excitement and participation in party events by everyday people. The contrast is striking, especially in retrospect, as it becomes clear that the Party worker has turned in his official status for bricklaying.
