In the era of normalisation, a number of (pseudo)historical films were made, even described as reconstructions, which glorified the world-building mission of the Communist Party and attributed to it exclusively humanitarian intentions ("Days of Betrayal", "Sokolovo", "Liberation of Prague", "The Victorious People"). In 1929, when its fifth congress met, Klement Gottwald, who had taken the line of the Russian Bolsheviks, took over the leadership of the Communists...

The reason for making this film is clear: it was to cover up VojtÄ›ch JasnĂ˝'s famous chronicle "All the Good Natives", an account of the tragic consequences of forced collectivisation. The pro-regime director AntonĂn KachlĂk also focuses on the socialisation of the Moravian village, accompanied by mistakes and coercion, but in his optimistic view he emphasises the hopeful prospects leading to a happy future. Although the united village lands were born in pain, they will serve for the benefit of all the working people... As with JasnĂ˝, Radek BrzobohatĂ˝ embodies the stubborn peasant, who is only slowly acknowledging the benefits of communal farming. However, unlike the poetic exuberance and pithiness of JasnĂ˝'s chronicle, here we encounter a vicious posturing.
