A young Russian Army deserter stumbles into the town of Chelm, also known as the legendary Village of Idiots.  Here, he discovers a community less concerned about the political rumblings of the outside world and more concerned with such important municipal matters as not trampling the first snow of winter and protecting the collection box from thieves by hanging it from the ceiling. This is a quirky and charming comedy based on a beloved tradition of Jewish folklore where street-smarts are pitted against the value of a loving and accepting community.
