Two financially unequal sisters’ families reunite under one roof, where old tensions begin to rise.

The story

A year after Ernella, her husband Albert, and their 10-year-old daughter Laura leave Hungary for Scotland in search of a better life, the family has failed to settle there. In the middle of the night, they arrive at the home of Ernella’s sister Eszter. Eszter lives with her husband Farkas and their five-year-old son Bruno in much more comfortable circumstances than Ernella’s financially struggling family. Though the sisters disagree about nearly everything, Ernella enjoys being with Eszter. The families have a history of discord, and sharing a home gradually intensifies their tensions.
