Synopsis: A celebration is being prepared in a large lonely house. Helger Klingenfeldt, the patriarch of the family, is celebrating his sixtieth birthday. Slowly the guests begin to arrive - friends, relatives and, of course, the celebrant's closest: wife Elsa and the three adult offspring Christian, Michael and Helena. All is ready, the guests sit at the table. Nobody knows what will happen next when Christian rises to give a speech. Soon everyone realizes that they will never forget this evening and this night.
