Sünopsis

At the center of the short film we find an ordinary family struggling with generational differences about what it means to love and live a full life. The main character Virve (Tiina Mälberg), a middle-aged perfectionist, has gone to great lengths to make sure her mother’s (Ines Aru) jubilee would be a perfectly traditional family celebration. Her plans are interrupted by her niece Silvia (Grete Konksi) who arrives to the party with her same-sex partner Mary (Jaanika Arum).
Grandma and grandpa are clueless and welcome Mary to the table because they remember her as a childhood friend of their granddaughter.
The tensions at the dinner table are rising. As Silvia gathers courage to introduce Mary as her partner to her grandparents, her aunt Virve tries to make sure that her elderly parents would not be shocked with that kind of news.
The whole family holds their breath as to how would grandma react to the big revelation.
