A COMEDY BY CESC GAY
Big arguments often start over something trivial, like an extra word said out of place or by slightly prolonging the last vowel of a seemingly harmless sentence.

And if this happens between siblings and in the context of a family gathering, the chances of the evening turning into something more than just a pleasant encounter are very high.

Anything can happen between siblings. Often, the present and the past are one and the same, and every color of emotion is present in their relationship. Their bond is like a ticking time bomb that can explode for the slightest reason.

And as one of the characters in this family comedy says, “the same blood runs through their veins and they are irrevocably united, condemned to be a part of each other despite all the fights and endless arguments. Because, whether they like it or not, they share a deep and ancient feeling that has to do with the mystery of life and from which they cannot free themselves.”
