Zloto (or, if you prefer English, Gold) is the story of a mysterious young drifter who wanders into a mining camp near the Polish border and gets a job. Is he interested in fitting in with the community, or does he have another agenda altogether? The lead character is a bit of a cypher for most of the movie and it is hard to warm up to him, but most of the characters in the camp are pretty interesting. Overall, it is a good movie if not a particularly compelling one, although it had a pretty strong ending. To be fair, the subtitles on the print I saw were poorly translated and made many of the characters seem like they were speaking non sequiturs. Better subtitles might have improved my understanding and appreciation of the movie.
