This is Kieslowski's very first feature for the cinema. Before this film, he had already made some TV dramas. He called this his most socio-realist work, for it depicts how life as it ought to be. The film is based on a journalist report. In the 1970's, an honest Party man is put in charge of the construction of a new chemical factory. He believes that he will build a place where people can lead a good life, but his intentions conflict with those of the townspeople who are primarily concerned with their short-term needs. Disillusioned, he gives up his post. The film takes place in factories and at meetings, and unfolds in a clear, linear storyline, in sharp contrast with Kieslowski's latter works which are concerned mainly with the emotional world of the protagonists.
