The Truck Driver
1967, Arabic. Directed by Boško Vučinić.
A struggling young man abandons country life to work as a truck driver's assistant. His ambition drives him to be a driver himself, and lives a conflict that tears him apart between his love for a girl from his village, and his gratitude to his teacher who hopes to marry him to his daughter. We see the conflict that rages between truck drivers demanding wage increases on the one hand, and the employer on the other. The film depicts the harsh experiences that the hero goes through and learns through them the enormity of the individual battle in life.
