An elderly woman Joanna tells her life story to a musician who happened to be in her house. It turns out that the musician appears to be in the house not quite accidentally and woman allegedly describes her childhood and youth, although the story belongs to her deceased daughter.
An adult daughter ordered a musician for a future concert, knowing in advance that she would not live to see her mother's birthday.
Because of the upheavals of life, Joanna is not completely in her mind and she constantly hallucinates with her fears. Her reality is associated with a fictional world, and the viewer will have to wonder: what is reality and what is fiction. Joanna wished grandchildren and a successful marriage for her daughter so badly, that she accepts all their illusory versions at the celebration table as real guests. But even in her made-up world, there is a conflict that Joanna resolves in her very eccentric way. The only real guest at the party is Bryan, a childhood friend of her daughter. He and the musician are playing along with Joanna's illusion without destroying the idyll of her looked forward celebration
