Kapriel lives as a recluse in Glendale, California, without any relatives nearby. He foresees the visit of his nephew Alek, awaiting his mother’s second wedding, as the perfect opportunity to pass to Alek the family tradition of the toastmaster. A ritual where a master of ceremonies has to share moments of joy, revive the spirit of the loved ones, and conduct the whole celebration with lyrical and clever toasts. But Alek has his own agenda for the weekend, and it does not include learning the long-lost art of the toast. Alek wants to make a film about who he believes is the most dangerous man in the Armenian mafia, his Uncle Kapriel.
