近未来的美国，全国失业率仅为1%，犯罪率则创下史上最低纪录，暴力几乎消失无踪。美利坚合众国仿佛进入宛如天堂的美好黄金时代，而促成这完美表象的则是前所未闻的大扫荡计划。国家为了有效释放公民心底的压抑和不满情绪，特别规定每年有一天的晚上7点之后举行长达十二小时的全国性大扫荡，届时人们将走上街头，展开完全不用承担法律责任的殴斗与杀戮。在这个畸形的时代，安保系统推销员詹姆斯·桑丁大发其财，与妻子儿女过着养尊处优的幸福生活。 又是一年大扫荡之夜到来，桑丁一家端坐固若金汤的豪华府邸，在屏幕前观赏杀戮之夜的表演。谁知这一晚，詹姆斯的儿子查理出手拯救了一名被追杀的流浪汉，桑丁一家不可避免被卷入血腥的漩涡之中……。在吴天宇的六十大寿宴上，他邀请了众多贵客以示退休。整个场面由他的长子吴雷和市计委主任简兰芳精心策划和组织。吴雷是城里数一数二的私营企业家，而简兰芳是吴天宇一手培养起来的官员，享有很高的声望。吴天宇的寿宴吸引了众多来贺的客人，其中包括他的次子吴刚，一名市局刑侦科的刑警，以及幼子吴雨，从事软件开发的年轻人。当天，吴雨玩弄家里的电脑摄像头，把整个庆生宴会的场面录入电脑硬盘。 家里的保姆王燕在寿宴中周到地照料着客人，她的举止得体大方，已经在吴家工作了八年。她从一个乡下姑娘逐渐成长为标准的城市女性，甚至比大多数城里女人都更加得体。吴刚和吴雨都对王燕有特殊的感情，但王燕明白主仆关系，不轻易越界。唯独吴雷对王燕不屑一顾。寿宴接近尾声时，一个名叫刀子的人，曾与王燕有过不愉快的经历，并因此入狱。刀子的世界似乎只有王燕，入狱后也一直思念着她。但王燕已经淡忘了刀子，不愿再...。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.
