Željka’s younger sister Silvija begs her to let her spend the night, because their mom has just read her shameless blog and she doesn't want to go back home. The next morning, Željka takes Silvija and her best friend Danica to a TV studio where she works as a make-up artist. While getting ready to return home and face their mom, the two sisters exchange some pearls of wisdom about life.
