When a father turns 60, his large family gathers at a castle to celebrate him. Everybody likes and respects him deeply–or do they? The youngest son is trying to live up to his father’s expectations; he runs a grill-bar in a dirty part of Copenhagen. The oldest son runs a restaurant in France; the sister is an anthropologist. The older sister has recently committed suicide and the father asks the oldest son to say a few words about her, because he is afraid he will break into tears if he does it himself. The oldest son agrees without argument. Actually he has already written two speeches. A yellow and a green one. At the table, he asks the father to pick a speech. The father chooses green. The oldest son announces that this is the Speech of Truth. Everybody laughs, except for the father, who looks nervous: he knows that his oldest son is about to reveal the secret of why his sister killed herself.

参考翻译:
当一位父亲60岁时,他的大家庭聚集在一座城堡里庆祝他。每个人都非常喜欢和尊重他——或者他们真的喜欢和尊重他吗?最小的儿子正努力不辜负父亲的期望;他在哥本哈根一个肮脏的地方经营一家烧烤酒吧。大儿子在法国经营一家餐馆;姐姐是人类学家。姐姐最近自杀了,父亲让大儿子说几句关于她的话,因为他担心如果自己自杀,他会哭出来。大儿子毫无争议地同意了。实际上他已经写了两篇演讲稿。一个黄色的和一个绿色的。在餐桌上,他让父亲挑选一篇演讲稿。父亲选择绿色。大儿子宣布这是真理之言。每个人都笑了,除了父亲,他看起来很紧张:他知道他的大儿子即将揭示他姐姐自杀的秘密。
