Summary
Musician Vašek Pivoňka (Bronislav Poloczek) decides to reform his old village brass outfit Kulatěnka. Pivoňka’s dream is to be the equal of the famous brass band Moravanka. But naturally that proves to be harder than any of the enthusiastic amateurs imagined. When the help of Prague musician Standa fails to do the trick, the desperate musicians hatch a plan to kidnap the members of Moravanka and perform in their place... This light-hearted folk comedy was filmed in 1982 by director Milan Muchna, and utilises the popularity and music of the real-life popular brass band Moravanka. Luďek Sobota plays Standa, a man who eases his shredded nerves by working in a pig farm coop. Jiří Lábus, Jan Paulová and Lubomír Kostelka play some of the quirky village folk.
