How do we protect ourselves from feeling humiliated when nothing is left of a lavish wedding, because the groom runs away from the altar, the bride locks herself in the house and their parents (a bourgeois couple and a working-class couple) are left alone with an unfulfilled idea of their children's happiness? Although much might suggest so – both the situation and the characters – this is not a genre comedy or a tragifarce. It is an insightful and bitter diagnosis of society. Cultural, social and civilisational progress has been of no use. Life, behind the façade of polite smiles of embarrassment, is still driven by shame.
