A genteel Viennese prepares a dinner party for a select group of friends. He approaches the occasion with the diligence of an artist but, as the evening progresses, cracks appear in his canvas and in a moment's brutal exposure he is shown to be more puppet than puppeteer.
A group of friends find their romantic assumptions challenged when an Irish expatriate invades their lives and, on a visit to the zoo, the violence of history and exile is disturbingly revealed.
