In a world where traditional values meet modern expectations, one dad finds himself at the center of a fiery debate. His adult daughter, eager to share a room with her long-term boyfriend during a family vacation, is met with a firm ‘no.’ The dad, who’s footing the bill, insists on separate rooms unless the couple is married, sparking an intense family conflict. Despite his daughter’s protests, the dad stands his ground, asserting his rules apply under his roof or in a hotel he’s paying for. His wife sides with him, but their daughter feels they’re treating her ‘like a child.’ As the holiday approaches, the question remains – will the daughter accept her dad’s rules or opt out of the vacation?
