The regulars’ table is a place of passions, desires, fears, and political discourse. It is a place where people spend their free time and which offers them space in their everyday lives to imagine their own happiness. This film focuses on people who come together at various regulars’ tables and have a special connection to them. These people are united not only by their desire for a cold beer or conversation, but also by an intense passion they share. Whether in clubhouses, hunting lodges, or living rooms, the regulars’ tables shown in the film conceal deep passions that give rise to intense connections between people.

The film tells stories of animals, physicality, the desire to suffer pain, weapons, politics, traditions, and the supernatural. Like the stones of a mosaic, each regulars’ table is different from the next. Only when you look at the finished mosaic picture do you recognize it as a closed world.
