action
The stout Beryl got a digital video camera with which she wants to record the wedding of her friend Mandy. She ambitiously procures books about different sizes of directors and gets to work on the wedding day. Her camera records mishaps when putting on the tight, red wedding dress, a chaotic trip to church with a dog, a disastrous wedding ceremony in which, through Beryl's fault, even the crucifix crashes in the end, as well as the subsequent celebration. Beryl is busy filming, but gets more and more drunk until she ties the camera to the family dog on the back, which records further chaotic scenes. The next day, Beryl is depressed because she was too ambitious and in the end everything went wrong.
