New Showbiz Analysis

The film primarily serves as a critique of systemic economic shifts rather than a study of diverse identity politics. It prioritizes the conflict between local communities and global capital over individual identity-based narratives. While the documentary offers a sharp deconstruction of the 'progress' narrative, it lacks depth in representing specific underrepresented groups. The focus remains on the collision of agrarian life and industrialization. Ultimately, the work's value lies in its sociopolitical commentary on how globalized capitalism disrupts traditional social orders and local autonomy.

Official Synopsis

An original portrayal of a small Czech village where – as the locals put it – an UFO has landed in the form of a kilometre-long 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 Republic’s 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.
