DESCRIPTION

The film features young people debating on ideals, aspirations and everyday life problems of their generation. A seemingly bland and commonplace record of its time, it nevertheless shows class and value and may be interpreted in plenty of ways. It has certainly left a strong impression on later generations of documentarists.
