Muž z jamy a deti z lásky / Man in Depression, Children in Love

In Peter’s family the mother dies, and all of a sudden he has to take care of everyone: his little brother, nicknamed Cabrera; his sister Valéria, who suffers from unrequited love; his father, who had all but the middle finger of his right hand bitten off by a dog when he was a child; and a messy Grandma, who decided to move in after their mother’s death.  To make matters worse, the father lives in a pit.  It’s no ordinary pit, but a pit in a couch, where the father spends his days blowing up tanks in a computer game with his middle finger.  Consequently, the children call him Tankman.  As a way to distract themselves from how much they miss their mother, they adopt a hyperactive little dog.  Unfortunately, Peter gets stuck taking it for walks all the time, because no one else feels like it.  Peter is twenty-five and takes everything seriously.  Perhaps too seriously.
