About Don't Come Back by the Same Way
The story of a few untrained construction workers from poor underdeveloped parts of the country, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina or Macedonia, who carry out seasonal work in the highly-developed republic of Slovenia. Far from home, problems arise for the men - with their families, alcohol, the local population's derision and the "real Slovenian workers".
Directed by Jože Babič, Don't Come Back by the Same Way leans on a strong ensemble — Davor Antolić, Ljubiša Samardžić, Jože Zupan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1965.
