This grotesque, micro-realistic film is set in a small village at the end of the seventies. A TV-staff comes to the Petőfi Memorial House. They want to record the comic opera, The Postman of Longjumeau, by Charles Adam, a 19th century French composer, in this house, once the Petrovics Inn. Czakó, the museum manager, tries to profit from the presence of the famous actors and actresses, so he asks them to give a show for the culture house, which is just being built. Local amateurs would also take part in the program, for which he hopes to gain the support of the county. The local people prepare with great enthusiasm, but the plan finally fails due to petty offences and jealousies of authority. (official distributor synopsis)
