冬天，警察局里，警察正在审问十四岁的玛拉。被捕时，他开着一辆偷来的奥迪跑到离家很远的地方。他和性格古怪的希都斯出发去寒冷的南方平原探险，但他讲述起来轻描淡写，又绝口不提任何细节，让人觉得疑点重重。随着情节的展开，发生或消失的每一件事都衍生出各种各样的可能性。影片也是关于在冬日里依旧顽强地嗡嗡叫的小苍蝇，讲述了男孩子们之间的友谊纽带以及无法克制的冒险欲望——即便根本不知道会经历什么，人们依旧会上路eee

　　1942年，沦陷的斯洛伐克某小镇上，德国人正在主持修建庞大的木制纪念碑，但当地木匠托尼（JozefKróner饰）对此并不关心，妻子的唠叨已经让他足够烦恼。托尼的妹妹嫁给军官后生活大有改观，托尼也借妹夫的权利，获赠一纸批文，得到了大街边一家犹太商店的所有权。店主是一位78岁的犹太寡妇劳特曼（IdaKaminska饰），耳聋眼花，托尼与她夹缠不清之际始发现这家商店徒有空壳，早已没有多少货物，然而照顾劳特曼可以得到犹太组织的酬劳，托尼于是瞒着妻子在店中帮工，对外却宣称自己是店长。不久，德国人开始把犹太人收押后运往集中营，托尼想要藏起劳特曼，但心中经历着巨大的煎熬。商店外，犹太人在纪念碑下集中出发，商店内，托尼面对不明所以的老妇借酒浇愁…eee　　本片获1966年奥斯卡最佳外语片奖。

　　捷克某小镇，一年一度的消防员舞会再次到来。今年的舞会有项特别的内容，患有癌症的老局长（JanVostrcil饰）即将迎来86岁大寿，消防队里这群老同志们决定为局长办一个大型派对，并颁发一柄金斧以表彰他一生作出的贡献eee　　舞会内容倒也充实、抽奖、颁奖、聚餐、舞蹈，甚至还别出心裁安排了选美环节。可是事与愿违，这些环节却从没按计划进行。颁发的礼品不断被人偷走，年轻姑娘们也不愿抛投露面参加选美。场面混乱之际，一场大火也来凑凑热闹……　　本片为导演米洛斯•福曼离开捷克前最后的一部作品。
