This film presents agricultural cooperative in Heřmánkovice an example of a collective in which women seize the initiative in terms of renewal after the men find themselves all at sea when it comes to making progress. Women introduce the system of the division of labourers into working groups and evaluation based on units that were actually worked. A decision is taken to do work in the fields as a form of competition in order to ensure that workers’ morale is as high as possible. In the end, the men in the collective feel ashamed by the fact that it was not them who have come up with these steps forward.
