The play portrays the Slovene statesman and general Rudolf Maister in the turning point of 1918. Filmed according to the script by Sasa Vuga and directed by Andrej Stojan, it reconstructs historical events in a documentary-poetic way. Place of events - Maribor, time of events - night from 22 to 23 November 1918. When the Austrian Germans realized in October 1918 that new state formations would emerge, they also decided to establish their own state - German Austria. On October 30, 1918, the Maribor German Municipal Council declared Maribor and its surroundings a part of German Austria. On November 1, 1918, Major Rudolf Maister, in the barracks of the 26th Rifle Regiment in Melje, stated decisively in front of the city commander and the assembled officers: "I do not recognize these points. I declare Maribor a Yugoslav possession and take over, on behalf of my government, military command over the city and all of Lower Styria. " He declared mobilization and gathered so much troops that on the night of November 23, 1918, he disarmed the German security guard. It occupied Maribor and the Slovenian national border area in Styria.—Alenka Ribic, 20. 11. 2012
