Description
A seemingly ordinary situation: Three sisters get into a car one winter day and head to their parents' house to celebrate their father's birthday. Blanka with her two daughters, a baby, and a dog; Olina with her son and a tablet; Kristýna with a hangover. However, along with them in the car are their life stories, childhood memories, unfulfilled dreams, and frustrations, and the seven-seater Volvo XC quickly turns into a packed pressure cooker, threatening to explode at any moment. And none of the sisters yet knows that another drama awaits them at their parents' house. In family relationships and seemingly ordinary events, Soukupová captures the imprints of intricate fates, past experiences, and frustrations with such brilliance that they emerge before the reader as unique life dramas. The author's typical storytelling style, with a feigned nonchalance, subtly underscores the authenticity of the story and draws the reader in so much that they become one of the passengers in the car heading to the family celebration.
