George and Anna have an apparently perfect life with a lovely young daughter Eva, a beautiful home, good jobs, a perfectly maintained car and cultural consumer items. Every morning runs like clockwork as they prepare for their day in an orderly fashion. But they dream of escape, perhaps to an Australian beach (not so wild a desire, really). When his wife sobs uncontrollably inside a car wash and his daughter feigns blindness, George decides that their escape from perfection will take a different form.
