Set in a small rural village
in the far North, hardworking parents await the arrival of their children
and grandchildren for the holiday. Their children have abandoned the
village to work and raise their own families in the city. Mom is loving
and understanding of her children's foibles and different lifestyles.
On the other hand Dad looks askance at his offspring's way of life.
With biting humor, wisdom, and great depth of feeling, the film rolls
smoothly through the broad range of emotions that is the make-up of
family.
