动画角色野蛮人Zorn在离开家庭10年后，发现自己在与真人的儿子及前妻重新建立关系﹑在平凡的办公室工作﹑处理郊区生活，都远比自己在动画世界时面对的战争还要困难。A bit of color for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story concerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Party deals with people, especially their lack of direct contact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is uncomfortable with the compromises to his idealism. He remains committed to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his comfort and confidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overcoats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.1963年初秋，冀津交界的冀家庄遭遇一场百年不遇的大洪水，即将成熟的秋庄稼在一米多深的大水中挣扎，堤下的村子也有被淹没的可能，人民群众的生命财产安全受到严重威协。大队书记丁震洪（鲁速 饰）带领党员干部日夜奋战在大堤上，此时县委决定，为保障津浦铁路和天津市几百万人民的安全，在冀家庄堤段炸堤分洪。闻听此言，一下炸了锅，大队长大勇（村里 饰）等人坚决反对，坏分子王茂（孙树林 饰）也推波助澜。老根爷（蔡松龄 饰）、丁胜河（刘世龙 饰）等人却坚定地站在丁震洪一边，拥护县委的决定，决心舍小家保大家。丁震洪带领全村社员终于战胜了洪水，夺得了当年农业丰收。秋后，毛主席发出了“一定要根治海河”的伟大指示......
