The directors' next film, Accused aka Defendant (Obžalovaný, 1964), rehashed the propagandist structures of the earlier Socialist-Realist filmmaking, but turned them around by replacing the content mandated in the 1950s with committed social criticism that was quickly becoming one of the hallmarks of Slovak and Czech cinema of the 1960s.
Următorul film al celor doi regizori, Accused aka Defendant (Obžalovaný, 1964), a refolosit structurile propagandiste ale cinematografiei realist-socialiste anterioare, dar le-a transformat prin înlocuirea conținutului impus în anii 1950 cu o critică socială neutră ce a devenit rapid unul dintre semnele distinctive ale cinematografiei cehoslovace a anilor 1960.
