Set on a socialist construction site, the film follows rebellious foreman Hannes Balla (Manfred Krug), whose rule-bending tactics clash with newly appointed Socialist Unity Party secretary Werner Horrath (Eberhard Esche), while engineer Kati Klee (Krystyna Stypułkowska) becomes entangled in a politically charged love triangle that exposes tensions within everyday socialism. As one of eleven DEFA films banned in the mid-1960s for alleged anti-socialist themes, TRACE OF STONES was withdrawn from cinemas in 1966, suppressed until after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and remains one of the most controversial and significant works in East German cinema history. Now restored and released on Blu-ray by the Masters of Cinema Series, this powerful and nuanced exploration of GDR ideology stands as an essential classic of banned communist-era filmmaking.
