🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the contrast between the official task of rationalization and the private interests of the protagonist, using the atmosphere of a provincial factory as a micro-model of society.

What lingers after viewing is a witty, observant study of how power and status symbols reshape human dynamics, even under austere conditions. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lasse Hallström
