One ordinary evening, during an ordinary dinner, among ordinary middle-class friends — one of the guests suddenly jumps out the window. His mute action, right after the main course and just before dessert, leaves the others speechless. As it happens, he somehow survives the long fall.

While the group waits for the lingering ambulance, an investigation begins. The death-wished man won't open his mouth; his friends won't shut theirs.

The debate turns the apartment into a battleground of opposing attitudes. The dialogue brings about the tragic consequences of a few suspect friends that talk themselves to death.
