In this loopy operatic farce, the surreal collides with sex farce and the 
profound smashes up against slapstick. During a late December snowfall, 
Jonathan and Ariel, a young couple in love, arrive at Jonathan's family 
summer house for a romantic getaway. Ready to propose marriage, Jonathan is interrupted by his mother Maria and her lover Francois, who have 
also decided to use the house for the weekend. This unexpected turn of 
events is followed by the arrival of Jonathan's father Frank and his 
father's lover Edmund who have also shown up for a romantic weekend. As 
pleasantries snowball out of control, Bertha, an elderly woman, bursts in and explains that her lover Hilda has fallen through a hole in the ice and is drowning. As the group frantically runs around 
gathering rescue equipment, Hilda enters alive and soaking wet. It does 
not take long for suspicions and jealousies to resurface, and soon all 
of the lovers demonstrate their frustration in a performance that is 
both operatic and farcical.
