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 had been eagerly waiting for their father, have long since had dinner and are now asleep. Sitting on the couch in their bourgeois apartment, she tries to watch a documentary, but her husband, who has reheated the leftover lasagna, keeps interrupting her with his trivial questions. The atmosphere is tense.
At that moment, Daniel's phone rings. It's Franziska, his ex, a sensual woman, somewhat naive, much 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, as 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 is in control of the relationship between Daniel and Sibylle, and where does the resentment between the two come from? How could Daniel and Franziska, so unequal, have been a couple? What really happened in the past? Who is telling the truth and who is lying?
Marius von Mayenburg's bitterly humorous new play explores the extreme limits of a couple pushed to the edge.
