It’s a documentary film about fifty years long history of organized oil production by a company named Naftaplin. It has produced more than half of the energy used in Croatia in the past fifty years. The film goes all the way back to times when oil was 'scooped' from wells with spoons and buckets and tells a story about expansion of the company and oil production until the present day when it has become the most powerful business in the world. The most advanced technology, powerful computers and satellites are also part of the game.
