It was supposed to be a peaceful dinner. To spend the evening before grandmother´s funeral together in dignity. All members of the family together: mother, two adult daughters, teenage son and an exhusband. Maybe even some one else. Just to meet and not get into a fight. Simply avoid conflict. Just to meet so that the funeral tomorrow goes peacefully.

But today is not going to be peaceful, that is clear from the start. There is only a fine line between hopelessness and absurdity.

In the end, you will be grateful for the family you have!

Kindly note that actors smoke on stage during the show.
