The lives of Eszter (Orsolya Török-Illyés), her husband Farkas (Szabolcs Hajdu) and son Bruno are turned upside down when Eszter’s sister Ernella (Erika Tankó), her husband Albert (Domokos Szabó) and their offspring Laura (Lujza Hajdu) show up at their doorstep at the middle of the night. They are back to Hungary after an unsuccessful year in Scotland. The two families stay in the same apartment, but they have never been in real harmony with each other.
