In the ladies’ room of a luxurious restaurant where the wedding reception is held, the two mothers-in-law, Despina and Lula, embark on a seemingly innocent and short conversation about the name of the child, since the bride is already pregnant. The place is not at all suitable for such a conversation, which is frequently interrupted by incomers, and moves on to another level after every interruption revealing the background of every family and relationships in a struggle to death about who will prevail.
