Фильм рассказывает об ангелах невысокого ранга, занятых на обыденной работе — скрашивать последний день людям, у которых не удалась жизнь. Чтобы хоть после смерти о них вспоминали с теплом.

Безобидный обычай похищения невесты (представьте, и в Чехии такой есть) по капризу судьбы превращается в нечто несусветное. Захолустная пивная пуста – идет чемпионат Европы по хоккею, а телевизор неисправен. К тому же разражается страшная гроза, отрезая от мира невесту, свидетеля жениха и бармена. Все эти трое – женского пола, что само по себе любопытно. К их услугам целый бар спиртного, а спиртное, как известно, развязывает язык. И не только. Этот фильм чехи определили как комедию, очень справедливо определили, хотя кто-то увидит в нем и драму. Едкий, забавный и жизненный фильм. Снято по пьесе, которая успешно идет в театрах, и тем, как раскручивается действие, напоминает пьесы Пристли.
