A grandmother, a mother and her little girl meet at an oriental restaurant to negotiate the girl's transfer to a better school.

After the phone call, the two women have to choose between a disability act, through which the niece will have to simulate a disability, or an ethnicity act which, as a consequence, will lead to the expulsion of a Roma child.
