Plot

[edit]

Two sets of wealthy parents: the brothers Serge (Daan Schuurmans) and Paul Lohman (Jacob Derwig) with their wives Babette (Kim van Kooten) and Claire (Thekla Reuten) go out to eat at a fancy restaurant in Amsterdam. Over the course of a lavish meal they talk about everyday life, as if nothing is wrong. The atmosphere is uncomfortable, because their children committed a violent crime, which could destroy their future. They secretly plot to prevent justice from being served.
