Anais, fourteen, loves her mother, she loves her brother Bruno, and secretly Peter from school. Their mother says life is tremendous, and that she would like another glass of wine: life does not live up to her longings, and men do not live up to her love. The dancing she loves has become pole dancing in front of men. Anais and Bruno try to protect themselves and their mother from the outside world, which stands in the kitchen in the shape of their mother's men, or Peter, who finds their flat strange, or a man from the youth office with many questions. The more it intrudes, the further the children retreat into their imagination.
