Synopsis
This scorching comedy of personalities and situations revolves around the funeral of an elderly father.
The family includes a cook who bakes almondless almond cakes, a man who is convinced his shopping trolley is a dog he has already taught it to beg and a sister who is a happy inmate at a psychiatric home.
The hilarity includes a posthumous joke played by a Father on his daughters.
This is not a close knit family; they've even got the wrong person from the psychiatric home!8 women, 5 men, 1 boy
