A documentary of a Labour Day procession, a very important event in the communist calendar, which helped to shape the regime’s local identity. Starting in a local auditorium, the celebrations take to the street, where the traditional procession takes place, with its workers groups, clubs and associations, amateur musicians, bands and orchestras, folk dancers, and official banners with communist slogans.
