A young boy begins to take accordion lessons. He views his accordion of almost biblical importance, and believes it can even help him get girls. He works at Orange Julius and flirts with the girls who come by; he believes he could treat them better than their boyfriends. One day, when his mom comes to pick him up from his lessons, she is dressed in bright colors as opposed to her usual grey uniform. She tells her son to switch places with her and drive, even though he never has before. The young boy hears about a party his mother tried to throw for veterans, and how it triggered the PTSD of one of the veterans she was very fond of. The boy's mother comes to talk about her troubles with her son oftentimes late into the night. She discusses how she feels as if she had to sacrifice her own life to be a good wife and mother. Eventually, she divorces his father and marries the veteran instead. At her wedding, her son plays "Lady of Spain" on the accordion per her request.
