Giuseppina, a bourgeois Italian intellectual, built a bungalow in the 1950s as a refuge for herself and her secret lover Ernesta. In 2023, a group of friends vacation there. They are queer, single mothers, eternal singles and ex-lovers. They share dreams and worries about the future and politicize their private lives while cooking pasta live.

In flashbacks, Ernesta and Giuseppina also dance through the bungalow, debate about lesbian love and polyamory and call on a wide variety of fellow campaigners; bauer+baum ruthlessly exceed historical possibilities and thus ensure amusing encounters. From Erich Fromm to Richard Krafft-Ebing to Şeyda Kurt, the imaginary conversation partners appear figuratively.

While the lesbian lovers in the 1950s become entangled in emancipatory discourses, it becomes increasingly difficult for the four friends in the present to ignore the fact that their nostalgic holiday idyll is located in neo-fascist Italy. The retreat into the "hideaway" only works marginally when the real political situation bursts into the theater space.
