An upper-class sextet sits down to dinner but never eats,their attempts continually thwarted by a vaudevillian mixture of events both actual and imagined. Mixes biting social satire with bold surrealistic invention as the dinner party serves to lampoon such targets as diplomats, wealthy socialites, and even radical terrorists.
