In the small town of Czechoslovakia, the local fire department prepares for an extravagant retirement celebration in honor of their beloved chief. With music, dancing, a beauty pageant, and raffle all planned, the entire community eagerly anticipates this joyous event. However, the seemingly perfect evening is met with one challenge after another: work-related accidents, missing raffle prizes, and an unexpected fire that breaks out just as the festivities begin. Despite the setbacks, the tight-knit town comes together to overcome these obstacles and ensure that their cherished chief's retirement is memorable in every sense. This endearing comedy-drama explores themes of community spirit, camaraderie, and the resilience of small town life amidst the chaos of unforeseen events.
