It′s a grandfather′s eightieth birthday party. The family′s gathered, but everyone′s busy, doing their own thing. The daughter frets over the dinner table while the gifts preoccupy the son. The son′s girlfriend can′t stop her hiccups while the daughter′s husband watches her secretly. As grandfather readies to blow out the birthday candles with eight flowers, he reminisces on himself as an eight-year-old boy.
