Six children watch a black and white film that is set in a splendid villa and centres on a sumptuous meal. Friends hare having a party, but it is somewhat forced; they have a drink in order to talk to each and end up drinking too much, letting slip too many things. It is a chaotic display of petty concerns. On stage, the children are dressed just like the adults on screen. The film is silent and the children skillfully set about saying its lines and recreating its sound effects. They have learnt by heart what the adults say and how they behave. Are they practicing for adult life or ironically mimicking their elders? Performed in Flemish with English subtitles
