Nina is pregnant by Jakub. She is introduced to his family at an awkward time as they gather in the hospital at the bedside of the grandfather. Just as the young lady tries to put on a brave face, she is faced with the surprising reaction of the dying relative: he wants to see her breasts. This sparks a debate to which she is not invited – should the patriarch’s last vow be satisfied?
