De family Smith looked forward to their summer vacation with great anticipation. This vacation was planned as a much-needed break from a hectic year full of challenges and obligations. Steve, the paterfamilias and a successful entrepreneur, had chosen a charming, quiet town that he promised would serve as the perfect getaway for his family, which consisted of his wife Sarah and their three lively young children: Ben, Jack and Rachel. With promises of serene landscapes and a peaceful atmosphere, expectations were high.
Instead of a comfortable holiday home, they were housed in a simple, austere hostel on the outskirts of the city.
This place was in stark contrast to the luxury hotel where Steve and his are moeder Evelyn would settle down.
Steve’s decision to provide his mother with luxuries while his own family stayed in a less comfortable setting exposed a deep divide in family dynamics and priorities.
