A situational documentary film about a village mayor playing matchmaker for local singles in their thirties. Slowly but surely, the Slovak village of Zemplínské Hámre is dying out. Its mayor, a retired general, doesn't want to give up though. Fighting the thirty-year-olds' solitude, he has used various means such as offering a financial reward for each newborn child or using the local public address system to encourage people to conceive children. None of it has worked. However, the mayor has a new plan. He decides to organize a dating party for singles from all the neighboring villages...
