A lighthearted comedy about mistaken identity that transforms a suicidal man's despair into unexpected belonging within a chaotic, warm-hearted family.

A bankrupt restaurateur on the brink of suicide is suddenly treated with deference and kindness by a bizarre group of strangers — who welcome him in their home, no less! Truth is they have mistaken him for the tax man they're waiting for, desperate to save their floundering ostrich-breeding business.
