Celebration, set between 1926 and 1945, follows Mijo and his family living in an impoverished Croatian village. After witnessing his father's cruel act driven by poverty and following the municipal authorities' unjust order to get rid of the family dog, Mijo becomes an easy prey for right-wing ideology, which offers him false hope for a better life and a scapegoat for his suffering.
