The merry members of a brass band from Slovenia travel by bus to perform in a small Austrian town. They sing, cheer and drink all the way there. Being part of a brass band is a joyful hobby for most members. However, not everything goes as planned… Five distinct stories tell us that hiding one’s actions and intentions is the best way to make them shameful.
