All for the good of the World and Nosovice

An original portrayal of a small Czech village where as the locals put it an UFO has landed in the form of a kilometrelong silverish factory a Korean Hyundai automobile plant The village hitherto famous mostly for its sauerkraut and the Radegast beer was thus turned into an industrial zone the largest greenfield investment project in the Czech Republics history Nonetheless for a long time many farmers resisted selling the land upon which the factory was now standing Eventually they all succumbed under the pressure from the neighbours and even the anonymous death threats The filmmakers returned to Nošovice two years after the dramatic property buyouts at the time when the factory has just started churning out cheap cars Combining the perspectives of seven characters they have composed a portrayal of a place suddenly changed beyond recognition that is playful and chilling at the same time a politically engaged absurd flick about a field that yields cars
