The Last Socialist Artefact
Synopsis
Oleg and Nikola, two “urban survivors”, are brought to a remote town in the Balkans when a mysterious Colonel places an order for a specific type of turbine. To deliver it, they need to renovate the long-abandoned factory in a town sunk into despair. When the town takes on a new life and the citizens regain their dignity and hope, the Colonel disappears. But none of them is ready to quit.
