Nina and Jakub are expecting a child so she is introduced to his family. Everyone is gathered in hospital at the bedside of Jakub’s grandfather. As Nina tries to seem calm, the grandfather surprises her with an unusual request: he wants to see her breasts. This sparks a debate – to which she is not invited – whether the patriarch’s last wish should be granted.
