Hubert and Helga are separated. Hubert has not yet told her about it in order to spare his heart-broken mother. On her 80th birthday he finally wants to tell the truth. The feast takes its course, until at the end all are exhausted, hurt, drunk and desperate and even do not know exactly what they really want. And then, at the right moment, Hubert takes the floor and - lies.
