Bohdan Slama
In a remote village in northern Moravia, far removed from the world and its revolutions, life consists of either doing nothing or going to the bar. After forty years of communism, all that remains is a half-collapsed church and neglected farmland. The villagers face the helplessness of their situation with humour, and look forward to the event of the year : the firemen's ball. Kaja, son of the self-appointed village philosopher, is a shy and simple woodcutter who has his eye on Bozka, the girl who works in the village grocery store. Unfortunately, she is dating Lada, local dandy and Michael Jackson impersonator. Of course, Kaja can't compete with that. Then, his brother unexpectedly returns to the village and the firemen's ball begins...
