The opening visual is a dimly-lit shot of a young girl opening the door to a drunk and haggard man. As the plot develops, it reveals that he is the girl's father, and that arriving late in this condition is a regular aspect of their familial life.

Inside the house, his displeased wife awaits him, reminding him of his duties that he is blatantly ignoring. Another scene with the daughter further shows how independent her life is of her family. The film engages with the topic of domestic abuse and the manner it can tear families apart. While the performances show potential that can be developed later, the sound production is an aspect of the film requiring some fine-tuning.
