Nadia and Vera are ideologically worlds apart, one being a socialist, the other a free-market capitalist. However, they needs must put aside their differences to save their father. In the process, they discover more of their father's life and personal history. Risible tale tinged with much wisdom and sadness in a classic tragi-comic mix.
