The story of a family gathering to celebrate their father’s 60th birthday. At the dinner, the eldest son publicly accuses his father of sexually abusing both him and his twin sister (who has recently killed herself).

The main issue I tried to expose was hypocrisy of a highly developed society. Scandinavian countries pretend to have values such as liberty, tolerance, solidarity, equality. Their demons are hidden deeper – racism, caste, rotting family. Existing organizations which defend the rights of weaker people  do not eliminate the evil.

The family is here a very important institution, but it works only as a unity. The respect of family provides respect for family members. That is why some sins can be hidden for such a long time.
