Raphael, recently left by his wife, does not dare to explain their recent separation to his 6 year old son Timotei. As Timotei keeps asking questions about his mother's prolonged absence, Raphael decides to improvise a big party in the garden on the occasion of the Swiss bank holidays! A clumsy way to make up for the absence.
