Whilst on a seaside holiday with his young family, a man in his early thirties, looking to unwind after months of long hours working to keep his small furniture manufacturing business afloat, argues with his girlfriend about priorities when he bumps into two old friends, who are off into town in search of alcohol and sex, in Muntean’s talky, naturalistic, and thoroughly compelling slice-of-life drama.
