Sünopsis

10 year old Oliver, who’s parents are not getting along anymore, struggles with a question, how much of a person he will be after splitting between parents.
The tough judge inside says, no more or less than half a child. But inner child says there is a hope and instead of splitting, he could unite.
A question rises: how to unite, when parents are avoiding deeper contact for a while now and from every little talk might come a big argue.
Luckily, Oliver is not alone in this world, despite the fact that his mother is drowning in work and father is lost in esotherics. Somewhere near the falled apart family flys seagulls, who bring a message from above.
Suddenly, by a greater force the family is in a small closed room - in a car, what is about to get washed.
All together.
Washing machines roll over the hood ning there is no place to run.
Now is the time, when “big” people decide, whether they will get along or they need to go real court to decide who is gonna get the child.
