Summary
This scorching comedy of personalities and situations revolves around the funeral of an elderly father. The family includes a cook who bakes almondless almond cakes, a man who is convinced his shopping trolley is a dog he has already taught to beg and a sister who is a happy inmate at a psychiatric home. The hilarity includes a posthumous joke played by Father on his daughters. This is not a close knit family; they've even got the wrong person from the psychiatric home!
