A normal family party in the 1990s. While the kids fight over the best Rafael ninja turtle costume, the adults struggle with sexual frustration, butter shortages and a surplus of cheap drugs and imported alcohol. As the evening progresses, passions, trousers and endless cigarettes catch fire. Hostess Marijana has the feeling that not even the break-up of Yugoslavia can compare to this meeting of theatre lesbians, a nazi cousin and a deaf grandmother.
