Description

While the student Nora is having a party in her flat, Martin and Sabine are enjoying their anniversary together. However, what seems like cheerful normality turns into a nightmare during the evening as secrets and scandals are revealed. The relationship between Nora and her mother Sabine has been strained for years. Nora condemns Sabine for her mendacious dealings with Nora's biological father and her relationship with the artist Martin. When an anonymous social media account publishes several scandalous photos during the evening, the tide seems to turn in her favour. But the shocking secrets and intrigues of her friends are also made public, causing a much larger façade of lies to begin to crumble. The situation escalates until nothing is left but the plain truth.
