Counterplan
Counterplan is a 1932 Soviet drama film directed by Sergei Yutkevich and Fridrikh Ermler.
Plot
During the first Five-Year Plan, workers at the Leningrad Metal Plant take on the responsibility of constructing and launching the production of the first Soviet hydraulic turbines of increased power, essential for building hydroelectric stations as part of the GOELRO plan. The task of machining one of the turbines is assigned to Semyon Babchenko, an experienced but non-party worker. The workers celebrate the completion of Babchenko's shift, but a defect is found in the turbine, caused by his problematic alcohol habit. Babchenko decides to quit drinking before work, but his shift produces a new part, which turns out to be defective again. This time, the defect is caused by a warped lathe bed.
