Trace of Stones (1966)

Hannes Balla is the foreman of a group of building construction workers at the large construction site "Schkona" in the GDR. They spend most of their time working hard and drinking harder; to some they are fun, to some they are a public nuisance. Things get more complicated when good-looking Kati Klee is employed as a young technician, and Werner Horrath, the ambitious new Party Secretary, aims to boost work efficiency and downsize Balla's ego. Kati slowly warms up to Werner but is also attracted to Balla's nonconformity. A contemporary movie about work, love, and everything in-between.
