Synopsis

A small town’s fire department is having a party to celebrate their ex-boss’ 86th birthday. Things, however, don’t go as planned. Someone is stealing the prizes to the lottery and the candidates for the Miss Fire-Department contest are neither willing nor particularly beautiful.

MUBI's take

Acclaimed more abroad than in its home country, the first color film from Miloš Forman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest)—as well as his last one before moving to America—is both a dazzling comedy and a provocative political satire. The film was Czechoslovakia’s official entry to the 1969 Oscars.
