В этом пропагандистском фильме первых лет социалистических преобразований в Венгрии рассказывается о кулацком саботаже в производственных кооперативах. Зажиточный крестьянин Игнац Хато, один из лучших фермеров в деревне, вступает в кооператив «Два октября», и вскоре все мелкие крестьяне следуют за ним. Сельские богачи, возглавляемые Лили Сохар, наблюдая за большим расширением кооператива, пытаются рассорить кооператоров друг с другом. Попытка Сохары даёт свои плоды, и Хато покидает кооператив. Далее Лили Сохар пытается убедить Игнаца Хато в том, что она планирует создать конкурирующую команду новых богачей и призывает его примкнуть к ней. Игнац отказывается и не поддаётся шантажу. Любовник Лили, бывший жандарм, стреляет в партийного секретаря Божине. У послели раненого Божине, Игнац признаёт свою ошибку и просит принять его вновь в кооператив. Шандор, председатель кооператива, понимает, что коллектив не должен препятствовать вступлению тем, кто хочет честно работать.

Álmatlan évek

The "sleepless years" in this propaganda piece by director Felix Marlassy occur on Csepel Island, an island south of Budapest that is home to an armaments factory. The factory workers are shown being exploited by imperialists, capitalists gone berserk, and fascists, more or less in that exact chronological sequence. The heavy-handed approach does much to undercut the belief that when socialism finally takes over, the lives of the workers are brought up to a human level. In this instance, audiences might prefer a more nuanced and subtle statement, no matter what the message.
