A loving and symbiotic relationship between a father and son is tested when the son tries to make a life of his own

A shy 36 year old man lives together with his charismatic and elderly father in a small apartment. Together they pursue a religious, frugal way of life and rarely seek the company of others. But the loving, symbiotic relationship between them is put to the test when the son makes tentative steps towards finding a marriage partner.
