A party at a new villa, with six old friends and one surprise guest, Nicke, Satu’s new boyfriend. The film depicts one day from afternoon to night. During the evening, it becomes clear that most of the friends are going through difficult times in their lives and have to hold back their emotions. What to reveal and what to leave unsaid so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the party? A multi-perspective realistic and somewhat satiric drama about the approach of death, real or imagined.
