This film is composed of three satirical stories written by Peter Karvaš. In a very humorous and poignant way, it reveals and challenges the shortcomings of contemporary society. The three parts are connected by the motive of an approval committee that watches the film in order to issue its eventual approval or disapproval of the film´s distributions in cinemas. The committee members, who recognize themselves in the characters on the screen, voice their comments during the intermissions. 

A drama about a legendary rebellion of Slovak troops of the 71st regiment who rise against the officers of the Austro-Hungarian army stationed in the Serbian town of Kragujevac during World War One. The film is an open criticism of the absurdity of military conflicts and an expression of spontaneous resistance against aggression and violence. The story also pays homage to all those who found the courage to oppose the war regardless of the consequences and revolt against its ruthless and inhuman nature.

Based on the short story by Janko Jesenský, this costume comedy is set in a small Slovak town in 1910. The place is buzzing with excitement in the expectation of the greatest event of the year – the upcoming annual ball. The arrival of a military regiment turns the whole community upside down. In their efforts to shield their fiancées from the intruders, several local gentlemen try to cancel the dance altogether, but the mayor and the regiment commander agree to hold the ball after all.
