礼炮声

昭和三年（1928年），大石久子（高峰秀子 饰）到小豆岛小学的分校执教。骑着新型自行车穿着西装的大石老师给这个贫困的村落带来了新鲜的气息，分校的12个学生也对她颇具好感。某天大石掉进孩子们挖的坑，扭伤脚腕。休养期间12个孩子走上8里路来看望老师。 大石因伤转回总校任教，适逢军国主义盛行期间，大石的怀疑态度令其遭到同事的鄙视。随着战争的进行，已经转到总校读书的12个孩子中有的加入军队。大石对军国教育的质疑不断加深，最终选择辞职，回家相夫教子。 战后大石老师回到分校，望着教室里陌生而纯真的面孔，想起当年12个孩子不同的遭遇，终于流下了眼泪……。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.
