Pa Ben is op sy sterfbed omring deur sy gesin. Maar Ben het besluit waddehel, hy’t lank genoeg sy mond gehou vir sy vroutjie en kinders en so kry 40 jaar se frustrasie ’n stem. Rita, sy vrou, sit en blaai deur stapels huisversieringstydskrifte. Dogter Lisa sukkel nog om haar eks-man uit haar kop te kry (die tequila help darem bietjie) en Koert, die goue seun, is al een wat sy lewe onder beheer het. Oënskynlik.
