The action takes place in the village of Fierbinți, where the existence of the inhabitants takes place slowly, in a rural paradise that has adapted, in a purely Romanian style, to modern times. Deputy Mayor Vasile wants to take the place of the current mayor and relies on the support of the innkeeper Bobiță and his friend, Giani, the typical provincial swindler. Celentano, Firicel a lu 'Cimpoaie, Ardiles and Santa Peleus, the drunks of the village, are colorful and humorous appearances.
