Hector is ambivalent about celebrating the milestone and longs for the carefree days of his youth. He loves his wife, but her controlling nature and singular focus on the party only serve to heighten these feelings. Nonetheless, Hector is a genial host. The party begins, and tensions arise almost immediately between Hector’s mother Koula and Aisha. Koula has catered, despite Aisha’s protestations, and she and Manolis have bought Hector a birthday present – a family trip to Greece – which clashes with Aisha and Hector’s planned trip to Bali. When Hector refuses to confront his parents about it, Aisha is infuriated by what she sees as his loyalty to family over her. Hector escapes by taking drugs and flirting with 17-year-old Connie, the teenager he’s having an affair with. As the day progresses and guests arrive, frictions between the adults and children emerge.
