Two women meet, as if by chance, on Christmas Eve, in an elegant, empty restaurant. From the beginning, the relationship between the two, actresses, former colleagues and even friends for a time, is tense, and gradually, monologuing, the Wife realizes that the one in front of her is in fact her husband's mistress. The revolt that grips her because she did not understand sooner who her husband is cheating on her with is doubled by the frustration of having had to do everything her rival liked for years (to baptize her child Eskil, after her father, to drink her favorite drinks and to dress in her style). After discharging her negative energies on the mistress who is silent, smiling, the Wife apparently triumphantly goes home, where her husband and children are waiting for her, and the mistress is left alone and sad.
