Die Ausgesperrten revolves around an unlikely group of 4 youths in Vienna who band together, each for different reasons, to mug people. Two are fraternal twins, the third a blue-collar worker, the fourth the privileged daughter of wealthy parents who "needs a little dirt in her life". The story provides penetrating insights into the Austria of the 50s, in which some enjoyed the benefits of the "Economic Miracle", while others were shut out. It repeatedly references Austria's Nazi past and the numerous ways in which it influences the present despite the conspiracy of silence which surrounds it.

Иван Дунаев — человек созидающий, он механизм, который запускает вокруг себя все жизненные процессы. Его можно назвать героем, но его героизм — не в совершении подвига, и не в принесении себя в жертву, а в его ежедневной, монотонной деятельности в течение всей жизни. В то же время — это фильм о мужской любви — к земле, к сыну, к дочери, к женщине. Он о трудном выборе своего пути и понимании долга — перед землей, страной, перед всеми предшествующими поколениями.

Гора Цуруга, расположенная в префектуре Тояма, возвышается на 2999 м над уровнем моря. Она известна своей неприступностью, и с древних времен считалась священной. Поэтому вплоть до 20 века, гора оставалась белым пятном на топографических картах Японии. Но в 1907 году военное командование призывает Сибасаки, известного топографа, и приказывает взойти на гору Цуруга, чтобы произвести геодезическую съемку. Сибасаки в компании с Тёдзиро, местным проводником, и группой смельчаков берется выполнить это опасное задание и установить на вершине горы тригонометрический пункт (тригопункт) — специальный геодезический знак, служащий опорной точкой для геодезических измерений на местности.
