Synopsis

In a remote village in Northern Moravia, far removed from the rest of the world and its revolutions, life swings between doing nothing and going to the bar. After forty years of communism, all that is left is a half-collapsed church and neglected agricultural land. The villagers can only combat their helplessness with humour and look forward to the event of the year: the firemen's ball. Kaja, the son of the self-appointed village philosopher, is a shy and simple woodcutter who has an eye on Bozka, the girl who works in the village kiosk. Unfortunately she has got something going with Lada, the local dandy and Michael Jackson imitator. Of course Kaja can't compete with that. Then his brother returns unexpectedly to the village and the firemen's ball starts. Next morning, everything will be different. Or won't it?
