"To ward off anxiety, nothingness, ghosts. And find strength in eating, laughing, communicating." "Stick together!" - That's the rallying cry of the Surdutowicz family: at table, at the hospital, everywhere. Rénia, the grandmother, falls ill and the entire family gathers around her, to talk, laugh and complain like they have always done during meals, so as to ward off time, so that things return to the way they used to be. They all hope and pray death doesn't exist. And as Rénia says: "When I'm around, everything's all right".
