    • Synopsis
    • What starts off as a quiet weekend with the plan to go to the mall for a movie, becomes a day of agitation as Marta's daughter, Marie, swallows some fish bones. The solution starts off with bananas and moves on to a slew of superstitious beliefs. And in all these, they have become oblivious to the doctor who lives next door. In the background of the story is a news commentary of a very popular radio station about the use of plastic and how plastic can eventually affect our waters and our marine life.
