Four days before a young man gets married. Four days without her, his future other half. Four days with others – and another woman. Four days to deal with a move, a broken water pipe and porous walls. Facing childhood friends, a possessive mother and an alcoholic step brother. Filling the wedding gift sacks. Dealing with crucial choices: rice or flower petals? Balloons or no balloons? Truth or Lies?
