Plot

The movie is about a young couple who are going to marry. Daniel Ackerman (Antonie Kamerling) and Francesca Moorman (Thekla Reuten) are already late for the party at the start of the movie so they have to call a taxi. They do not know where the agreed restaurant is so they go find someone who knows it.

Meanwhile at the restaurant old friends come back together, Martin Teitel (Dirk Zeelenberg), Harold Cammer (Peter Paul Muller), Philip Berman (Kasper van Kooten) and Alfred Fener (Michael Pas) muse about their memories.

After a while the parents of Francesa (Peer Mascini and Cecile Heuer) and the mother of Daniel (Elsje de Wijn) arrive at the restaurant and a big mess is created when Harold and Mr Moorman start an eating competition.

Around the end of the film Daniel and Francesca successfully arrive at the restaurant "De Tuin van Parijs" (The Garden of Paris) and a showdown happens which will turn the story upside down.
