There are conflicts between members of the family.For instance drug-addicted grand father and the job obsessiv groom are two opposite character . The grandfather is a type of man who is marginal and doesn’t have a look as a typical old man ,on the other hand the groom is a very ordinary type who wants to be successful at his job. This opposition is creating the atmosphere ,that in the film is wanted to be given. They are members of a family ,who love each other and have strong relationship.
