On the request of his mother Gitte, Marko, who has been living in Berlin for years, drives off to the countryside to visit his parents.

Marko is the only one who respects her wish from now on to be treated as a full member of this family and, as a result, ends up tipping more than just the delicate balance of his parent’s seemingly harmonious relationship.
