The white lie

The normal patchwork madness: Hubert and Helga are separated, both with new partners. Their children are doing well, everyday life is going well. Now it's time to celebrate Hubert's mother Marianne's birthday together, and everyone travels to Hubert's parents' house in Graz. Patricia, Hubert's new girlfriend, is finally to be introduced to the family. But it suddenly becomes clear that the old lady with a heart condition knows nothing about the changes in Hubert's private life. And in order to spare her, everything is kept as it is and she is made to believe that her family life is intact. The feast takes its course until everyone is exhausted, offended, drunk and desperate and no longer knows exactly who they are - or want to be - with.
