Well-known musicians from around the world have covered some songs in the tradition. 　　Using interviews to be filmed across South and Central America, the film will document the remaining major artists of this period, including: Roy Brown of Puerto Rico, Daniel Viglietti of Uruguay, Silvio Rodriguez of Cuba, Leon Gieco and Mercedes Sosa of Argentina, Chico Buarque of Brazil, Gabino Palomares of Mexico, as well as musicians from Venezuela, Nicaragua and other Latin American countries.

1918 年，美国卷入第一次世界大战的高峰期 - 自由债券被出售，德国移民被怀疑为叛徒或破坏者，各地的年轻人屈服于爱国主义和宣传并入伍。 在得克萨斯州的一个小镇上，霍勒斯·罗贝多感受到了压力 - 他不想离开他年轻的妻子伊丽莎白和他们年幼的孩子珍妮 - 但伊丽莎白什么都做不好的弟弟却不断地谈论战争，并且 伊丽莎白严厉的父亲最初反对这桩婚姻，现在计划照顾他的女儿和孩子，以便霍勒斯能够为他的国家而战。 但席卷全城（乃至全国）的流感疫情可能会改变每个人的计划。

第一次世界大战波及了整个欧洲。当沙皇俄国的王朝结束时，芬兰于1917年12月6日宣布独立。在1918年1月，代表苏维埃的红军开始与芬兰政府的白军进行对抗。小范围的武装冲突逐渐演变为全国战争，白军对抗红军，兄弟对抗兄弟。白军的指挥官是原沙皇的将军，而德国人也站在了白军这一边。这场由内战演变的国家分裂战造成了35000人受害，其中大多是红军。 　　上尉卡尔·范·蒙克从前线回到家中，正打算与未婚妻玛利亚结婚，就被上级派去与苏联接壤的边境。来到了边境小镇的卡尔看到了这里的景象：随意穿行边境的居民，散漫又没有文化的当地军官，同样遭受战争影响的儿童。他决心改变这些。小镇女教师琳多被卡尔邀请到军营教授军官写字，但她拒绝了。当地居民在边境上的随意往来，令卡尔强烈的国际边境观念饱受冲击，他因此建立起一系列的强制措施，包括架起横栏、粉刷桥梁并制作通行证等。小镇居民不得以只能从桥边的小溪穿行而过。随着谣言说苏俄要处死沙皇时期的贵族及中产阶级，大批的有钱人举家迁往芬兰。他们全部拥堵在边境线上。上尉请示了上级，决定只有会说芬兰语的人才能通过。于是，一个单词决定了许多人一生的命运，母女被迫分散、恋人被迫分离…上级探索性的方法被女教师琳多所指责。于是，卡尔亲自审查每个申请入境的人员，并由琳多处理文案事宜。但苏俄混乱的局面，使得难民越来越多。卡尔不得不找到苏俄边境的少校，要求他管理好自己的边境。卡尔与琳多的感情也在一天天地加深。琳多找来了医生治好了自己的红军男朋友，这令他更不感面对上尉的感情。就在两人感情进入停滞不前的状态时，卡尔手下暴虐十分的少尉枪杀了琳多的哥哥，一度使得琳多和上尉关系紧张。一天夜里，卡尔决定去找琳多表白，而躲在屋子里的琳多的男友却袭击了卡尔，这使得琳多逃亡苏俄。 　　没有琳多的生活又变得平静了。芬兰将军带领一名德国军官来边境巡视。并提升卡尔为少校。随着上一次与苏俄少校会晤后，卡尔与他渐渐成为了忘年交。每当他心情不好的时候就会走过边境，去与敌军将领喝杯威士忌，抽根雪茄，并下盘国际象棋。一夜，琳多与男友试图穿越边境，而被卡尔拘捕。琳多又回到了卡尔的生活中。与此同时，苏俄少校叛逃过来芬兰，却被上级指示，用他与苏俄交换四名战俘。卡尔目睹了好友，在交换完成后于边境上被枪杀。失去了爱人、朋友的卡尔，在动荡的年代里苦苦的挣扎，他又想到了琳多。琳多策划了一起越狱，包括她在内，很多人被射杀，而琳多的男友却成功逃脱。战争结束了，满誉而归的卡尔在一次宴会上遇到了已经化身为商人的琳多男友。两个男人没有握手，因为眼神里早已包含了太多的东西。 　　该片是芬兰少有的大制作。影片从独立卫战的角度出发，以边境小镇这一风口浪尖的地方作为展开点，向观众讲述，在这特殊的历史环境下，无论是当地居民、双方军官、抑或是身处敌我双方的恋人，他们都在这里表达着自己的善与恶。战争带来的只有摧残，所有人都是受害者。

十月革命胜利后，新兴的苏维埃政权受到各方敌人的武装干涉。英、日、土耳其等国利用俄国地主、富农阶级扼杀苏维埃政权的本性，在粮食问题上大做文章。同时，国内的白俄势力用能想到的所有手段剌杀列宁，打入敌人内部的马特维耶夫将敌人刺杀列宁的消息转告瓦西里，但由于布哈林的阻挠，列宁还是在工厂演讲结束后，被女特务卡普兰枪击伤害。此时，严重的饥荒笼罩着新生的苏维埃俄国，而俄国的人民则担心着自己受伤的领袖。高尔基来到列宁的床前，他为不久前自己与列宁讨论是否对敌人要仁慈的问题...

According to Sadoul in his "Dictionary Of Films": "The life and death of four average soldiers attached to the same company on the French front during the last months of World War I. Karl (Diessl), from Berlin, goes home on leave and finds his wife (Hoessrich) in bed with another man. A Bavarian (Kampers) takes life as it comes, while the lieutenant (Clausen) sticks to his duty. Anex-student (Moebis) falls in love with a French girl (Monnier) but loses her when the company moves on. All of them, sooner or later, meet a terrible end. Best sequences: the men buried alive during a bombardment; the first romantic meeting between the young student and Yvette; Berlin in the midst of food rationing with queues at all the shops; the death of the student at the hands of a wounded soldier in no-man's-land; the tank attack; the lieutenant going mad; the wounded and the dying in the ruined church converted into a field hospital. "Far better than the contemporary All Quiet On The Western Front, Westfront 1918 has little dialogue but gives tremendous dramatic force to natural sounds (Pabst refused to use music). As John C. Moore describes the final sequences: 'Pabst makes one last desperate effort to convey to us not only the horror of war but its futility and its gross stupidity as well.' Released to tremendous international acclaim, it still must be included among the finest war films ever made."

Attempt to look at the Polish workers early seventies, their daily problems and concerns. After the protest in December 1970 years took place discredited Edward Gierek team and his companions, promising 'new Poland'. The workers, however, remain critical, suspicious, still eager to revolt. The original version of the film was never publicly shown. After the cuts and przemontowaniu - against the wishes of authors - created version called '' team ''( ''Gospodarze''), which was the issue of television.

"Veteran experimental filmmakers Danielle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub helmed this unusual adaptation of a novel by Elio Vittorini. Focused on the triumphs and failures of a group of laborers and farm hands who pooled their resources to operate an alternative collective farm after the end of World War II, Operai, Contadini features a cast of 12 actors who read aloud from Vittorini's book for the duration of the film, either reciting from memory or using a clearly visible script. Hardly designed to be a crowd pleaser, Operai, Contadini proved to be controversial among the audiences for its showings at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight series." ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide 　　"The group makes up a primitive community which seeks to erase not only the distress created by the war but also the hardships of life and hunger, and to protect them from violence, misery and fear. Amid the ruins of this post-war period, the characters build and invent a rapport both in their professional and daily lives between themselves, the sexes, generations, diverse social and geographical origins, and antagonistic political camps. 　　The group maintains a 'register', a kind of diary, as if it were entering the minutes of an inquiry or a trial." -Steve Grayson 　　"my favorite Straub-Huillet films are Too Early, Too Late and Operai, contadini (2001), both color landscape films with especially acute senses of place as well as of nature in all its harsh beauty." - Jonathan Rosenbaum
