Plot

A stormy winter approaches and a small Dalmatian island soon becomes more and more deserted. A typical Croatian family featuring members from across the generational pool gathers in a small dilapidated household in order to discuss inheritance. However, the discussion quickly takes a snappy twist as new questions begin to pop up that start bringing the crumbling tradionalist family structure down. One of them, a woman named Anica, is determined to keep the situation afloat, no matter what risks it may pose.
