Summary:
During the first post-war socialist five-year period, a broadcasting house delegates a group of young musicians to go out into the field, to bolster morale in igricultural cooperatives, work brigades and at numerous construction sites. The young musicians themselves should thereby become "orthodox" patriots. On the truck with the group there are also a band leader, a proficient conductor and an irrede-emable "Don Juan" called Maks, who is punished for having performed the forbidden jazz, and the ideologically irreproachable "aparatchik" Jan, seeing here an opportunity to improve his reputation with the Party. The musicians and the ideological commissar have many conflicts and incidents on the tour, and many are imposed propagandising performance ends poorly. The reforming of the musicians causes problems too, because they are not really susceptible to it. A tragic event takes place, when one of the young musicians, saxophone-player Peter, tries to flee across the Western frontier and gets killed by the police. The propaganda tour is thereby a complete failure.
