During the wake after the funeral of their beloved grandfather, the family finds out that the numbers that grandfather played all his life have just been drawn in the lottery. There is no time for despair and tears when the winning ticket is in the jacket. Three meters underground. Family and friends suddenly feel the need to see grandpa again with great power... The priest of the local parish unexpectedly enters the game, who knows perfectly well what the relatives are up to and would gladly refresh the church (and not only) with the money from the prize. The race for ideas, intrigues and tricks begins. It is best to share your fortune with as few others as possible. Preferably with no one. Man is human ... but not when it comes to family and big money.
