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.

This music and dance film is, on the one hand, a sincere celebration of folklore arts and, on the other hand, a typical example of colorful 1950s agit-prop. The story talks about young people coming from different Slovak regions who are turning into enthusiastic members of a professional folk music and dance ensemble. The composition of the movie is set on a framework of picturesque Slovak landscapes and staged choreographies that are reconstructing folklore traditions in the style of the period.
