Since the pregnancy of his now ex-girlfriend Asha, Dennis (21) is beset by feelings of guilt concerning his Nigerian father’s death sixteen years ago. Plagued by nightmares about the frozen lake his dad drowned himself in, he wants to move back in with his mother. His anxieties seem to be sparked by the imminent birth of his first child. In this drama, a voodoo curse seems to be the only way for Dennis to cast off this burden lying on himself and his loved ones.

On February 7th 1992, the Treaty on European Union was signed in the Dutch city of Maastricht. Decades later, the representatives of the last three countries left in Europe meet again in the very same room where it was signed, this time to deliberate on the permanent shutdown of their Union. In what seems to be a looped therapy session, the three characters - helped by a British interpreter as a self-appointed analyst - try to deal with their feeling of loss.
