Nobody said it would be easy. Raimundas proposes to Milda live on Instagram. Life gets complicated when he needs to convince her extended family, which is crazier, huffier, and more vicious than Robert de Niro & Co. in “Meet the Parents”.

Lithuanian comedian and established actor Ramūnas Cicėnas (“The Poet”, “Ashes in the Snow”, “The Collectress”) confidently debuts as the director of this farcical comedy with a deceivingly common premise that extends to a witty portrait of an inflated society. Fascinated by Samuel Beckett, he inventively shakes up paradoxes of cynical absurdity and outright sarcasm. Legendary Lithuanian stars are supported by an unforeseen hilarious appearance by cult director Emilis Vėlyvis (“The Generation of Evil”).

After extraordinary emersion in Marija Kavtaradzė's “Slow” Kęstutis Cicėnas pursues a totally impudent energetic role of young gentleman, who must prove his noble intentions and abilities to each inhabitant of a wealthy mansion. It is a filthy and deceitful game not to ruin love in a dick-measuring contest. Ghostbusting grandfather patriotically hunts remaining Bolsheviks. Chatty granny is incapable of keeping any secrets. The cynical moneymaker father only cares about his reputation and instincts. The opera singer mother is selfish and adulterous. The hysterical surgeon uncle, the sneaky cook and the rebelling sister rush to the strange guest. The lesson is simple – never drink or smoke everything that you are served!
