Mama's Guest

An Army colonel and new his new wife are coming to visit their relatives, who live in small apartment complex. Mama wants to make sure that they get the best treatment possible, and arranges for a big feast. Of course, nobody really has a lot of money, and everything that can go wrong does. The mother is stressing because she is poorer and wants to impress the Colonel. The father is pretty lazy, and somewhat of a slob. He wants her to keep buying food, but doesn't give her any money. They have little food for a banquet, which stresses her even more. Her little son is somewhat of a scamp, so he keeps disappearing and coming back with random things like more food without explaining where it came from. They live around a bunch of neighbors including an old lady with chickens, a pharmacology student studying for an exam the next day, a couple that argues (the husband seems very violent and the wife is pregnant), and some other random people. There's a lot of yelling and chaos, but everybody will come together in the end, and somehow, everything works out. It approaches farcical levels near the end, as more and more things go wrong, but it does have a happy ending. The most amusing aspect is that the Colonel and his new wife want to leave, and Mama secretly wants them to leave, but every time they try to leave, everybody asks them to stay, just because it is the polite thing to do.
