Despite controlling the means of production, the workers face difficulties with outdated machinery, delayed deliveries, and generational differences. The older generation is passionate about the current model, but the younger workers prioritize stability and getting paid. The film strikes a balance between discussing governance structures and focusing on the human interest of the characters. The shooting style is observational, allowing for emotional scenes to unfold naturally. One potential legacy of the film is director's Kovačević intention to share any profits with the workers themselves. This gesture highlights the importance of compensating documentary protagonists, especially in a film about workers' rights and division of profit and labor.
