Forty-Four Mutineers (1957)
A drama about a legendary rebellion of Slovak troops of the 71st regiment who rise against the officers of the Austro-Hungarian army stationed in the Serbian town of Kragujevac during World War One. The film is an open criticism of the absurdity of military conflicts and an expression of spontaneous resistance against aggression and violence. The story also pays homage to all those who found the courage to oppose the war regardless of the consequences and revolt against its ruthless and inhuman nature.

His is an individual and intimate rebellion, since despite of being a soldier himself, he starts to question even the partisan movement.
