Telltales (1961)

The young Eliska Janícková is watering her mother's grave. An argument of two members of the local cooperative over a sack of groats stolen from the cowshed drives her out from the cemetery. A fragile love relationship gradually develops between Eliska and Jenda Dostál, the chairman of the local youth movement organization. The young people in their village, Pavlov, do not have a simple life. The house of culture has been under construction for two years already and there are no funds to finish it. The youngsters blame their parents as well as their fellow-citizens, members of the agricultural cooperative, for thinking only of their own prosperity. The boys and girls decide to make a list of dishonest practices by cooperative members and publish them.
