    Brief synopsis

    “The bride’s dress is too lavish. The ballroom is jam-packed and the mood is alarmingly good. Something is about to burst…”

    The dress is too lavish and the toilet cubicle too small for the bride to fit in. The ballroom is jam-packed and the mood is alarmingly good. Something is about to burst: the groom’s delusion of grandeur? The pregnant belly of deaf Betti? Her step-father's patience? Or the wine-filled bladder of his ex-wife?
