A darkly comedic family farce that mines neurosis, selfishness, and generational conflict for both laughs and uncomfortable truths about obligation and care.
Mama Cora, who is almost eighty years old, has three sons and a daughter. She lives with one of them, who has serious financial problems. The family meets one day to celebrate an anniversary meal, and that is when the problem arises: which of them will take care of her?
