Synopsis
A sizeable family is gathered at the home of Santiago to celebrate his 55th birthday. Something is clearly wrong as Santiago opens his presents, and it becomes clear that the "family" is not Santiago's family at all, but a team of actors, hired to enliven a lonely man's birthday and to maintain the fiction through the day.
