Sam and Tina are a danish couple. They meet, fall in love, get married, have kids and have ups and downs in their marriage. We see their life through four key events: Their marriage, the baptism of their son, their 25th anniversary, and finally a funeral. 

At each of these events, their friends and family hold improvised speeches, commenting on their life. As the guests, the players collaboratively improvise the story of the couples life. What were they like as younger people? How did becoming parents influence them? What was the problem that nearly destroyed their marriage? And how do the bereaved say farewell to a loved one?
