The Firemen's Ball
A small-town volunteer fire department's festive ball spirals into chaos as petty rivalries, incompetence, and corruption threaten to destroy the very community they're meant to protect.
“A colorful comedy, in which people dance, steal and extinguish the fire.”
Synopsis
Firefighters in a provincial Czechoslovak town hold a ball to honor their former chief.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
