In mid-80s,during the last years of Romanian Communism,the Romanian Communist filmmakers created this propaganda film in order to bolster the fading morale of the Communist regime.The film was commissioned by the dying and extremely unpopular Communist regime to celebrate the 1984 inauguration of the Danube-Black Sea Canal mega-project.In the film young high-school graduates and members of the Romanian Communist Youth Union are shown as eager and patriotic volunteers for the dangerous and back-breaking intensive labor taking place at the Danube-Black Sea Canal Communist mega-project.The film also draws a parallel between the contemporary Communist project and past Communist mega-projects such as the building of the Bumbesti-Livezeni main railroad link in 1948.
