Once again, Daniel, an architect, comes home late from work and asks if there is anything left to eat. His wife Sibylle, a doctor, is annoyed: the children, who were waiting impatiently for their father, have long since eaten and are now asleep. Sitting on the sofa in their upscale apartment, she tries to watch a documentary, but her husband, who reheated the leftover lasagna, keeps interrupting her with trivial questions. The atmosphere is tense.
At that moment, Daniel's phone rings. It's Franziska, his ex, a sensual woman, a bit naive, clearly less educated than Daniel and Sybille, but honest and instinctive. She has just broken up with her boyfriend and asks Daniel if she can spend the night at their place. He refuses, since both he and his wife have to work early the next morning. A little later, the doorbell rings: Franziska is standing on the doorstep. She imposes herself in the middle of the night. Her arrival brings up buried questions: Who's in charge in the relationship between Daniel and Sibylle, and where does the resentment between them come from? How could Daniel and Franziska, so mismatched, have been a couple? What really happened in the past? Who is telling the truth and who is lying?
The new bitterly humorous play by Marius von Mayenburg explores the extreme limits of a couple pushed to the brink.
