In this gentle satire, a taciturn, peace-loving judge and father finds his comfortable life challenged by his exasperated wife, who tries to provoke some kind of response out of him by flaunting her long-term affair with his best friend. At the same time, his son has been arrested on a drug charge. Rather than provoking a catharsis in this thoroughly settled man, these crises provoke a serious case of psychosomatic hay fever.
