DUTCH PREMIERE

A three-generation family in southern Slovakia unveils its secrets! A humorous film with a Cannes premiere that tackles difficult topics from a bright, fresh perspective.  

In the south of Slovakia, on hot summer days, a family of three generations meets under one roof. An unexpected visit from Zoja, the granddaughter, stirs up the peaceful routine.
