Synopsis: Bracing for the arrival of her senile mother-in-law, a determined housewife with no particular hopes or dreams beyond enduring the next meaningless event of her banal family life sanitizes her living room with Febreze dual-action mist, only to find that the intense, artificially-synthesized lavender and vanilla fragrance pushes Grandma over the edge into abject, pillow-snorting insanity.
