During the Christmas Eve dinner, a girl is confronted with criticism from her family, who doesn’t hold back in commenting on her personal life and diet.

Na božični večerji se dekle sooči s kritikami svoje družine, ki se prav nič ne zadržuje pri komentiranju njenega osebnega življenja in načina prehranjevanja.
