Our main protaginist (Dave early 30s) is at home preparing dinner for his wife, and two children. Just before he is about to start cooking, he is interrupted by a phone call from his father-in-law Charlie (late 50s), who requests that Dave return his fuel canistr to him as soon as he can.
In an attempt to try and win Charlie over, Dave decides to not only return the fuel canister, but fill it up too. In a rush to make his way over to Charlie's, and with his wife not answering his phone calls, Dave panics and in the heat of the frenzy, fails to screw the canister lid tightly.
Things escalate quickly when Dave makes it over to Charlie's farm, his aggravatiomn reaches it'c climax when his wife Lizzy calls and hounds him for not having dinner ready for her and the kids. On the back-foot from both relatives, Dave has no choice but to stand back and let the situation play out.
Drip deals with families and relationshops, but mostly the emperical generalization that men and their father-in-laws always have a frictional dynamic. The film makes light of a hurdle that's sometimes hard to overcome when part of a family. The film deals with perspective and asks the question of what's really important in life. Though truthfully, the sterotype that a father can detest their son-in-law for no real reason, actually has a comedic aspect to it, it's realistic. Most importantly, the film is about extracting a humorous outlook on an otherwise negative disposition.
