This contribution focuses on the question of the moral imperative in the novella Balada o trobenti in oblaku by Ciril Kosmač and the film adaptation of the same name by France Štiglic. First, there is a brief presentation of the elements in the literary work that suggest to the protagonist Temnikar a moral imperative. The second part of the contribution analyses the film adaptation, discussing primarily the filmic elements that present the theme of moral necessity.
