The premise

Here’s the bit.

A couple’s breakfast becomes a round of anxious conversations about adult life. Friends join the kitchen debate, while an advertisement offers cereal branded for their age group as the answer. Its familiar shapes and reassuring sales pitch parody both breakfast marketing and the television drama thirtysomething.
