🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its argument by erasing the recent past, relying solely on images of renewal and a narration that frames resettlement as a patriotic opportunity. It explores none of the human cost, presenting the Sudetenland as a blank canvas for state planning.
What lingers after viewing is the stark clarity of its purpose: this is not a record, but a tool. The optimism feels administrative, a checklist for repopulation set to music. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ivan Frič
