Petr and Karel, friends and colleagues from the conservatory, meet in the town of Tábor in South Bohemia after many years. Karel, nicknamed Bambas during his studies, works as the director of a music school. Petr is to appear as a soloist in a concert of an amateur symphonic orchestra. Petr is accompanied by a young woman named Štěpa. Karel brings the guests into his little new villa and introduces Petr to his whole family. The years of separation, however, have brought some uncertainty into the relationship between the men. The whole day is marked by minor faux pas which escalate during a common lunch. The menu consists of a hen which had been run over by Bambas's new car. Petr and Štěpa also take part in a village funeral where Bambas performs with his father-in-law in order to make extra money to finish the construction of the villa. It is only late in the evening when Petr and Bambas again become close over a bottle of sliwowicz. They listen to music, talk about their unfulfilled dreams, and, late at night, decide to "get out to the world there and play beautiful music". They soon get exhausted by the walk and thus decide to use the new car, but, being intoxicated, they fall asleep in the car. The next day, they wake up with a hangover. The grandmother serves her own "egg-nog". The drink is, however, so thick that it is even impossible to pour it from the glasses. (official distributor synopsis)
