Plot
Cheryl, Anouk, and Roelien are looking forward to Claire’s return from Burkina Faso. When she gets back after running out of moneh, it turns out she’s changed quite a bit. She’s rented out her own house, but is allowed to stay with Cheryl for the time being. She has become a vegetarian and has fallen in love with Komo from Burkina Faso. Komo then comes over. He eats with his hands, which Cheryl’s young son Remy starts to imitate, despite his mother's protests.
Cheryl has had enough of Martin’s cheating, this time with the young Daphne, and breaks up with him. When Daphne dances with another man and refuses to be bossed around by Martin, who wants to take her home, their relationship cools off. Martin tries to make amends with Cheryl, but this doesn’t work. Anouk still loves men and food. Under pressure from her friends, she breaks up with a married man with a family.
Roelien marries Evert. Just as she is about to say “I do,” she steps away briefly to give the dog some water. Evert dies that same day during the wedding dinner after choking on a piece of meat. Komo’s customs and superstitions at the wedding and cremation get on Claire’s nerves, despite his seemingly accurate warning about what brings bad luck, and Komo returns to his home country. Evert had wished for his ashes to be scattered at a specific, hard-to-reach location in the mountains of Austria. Together, the friends go there to fulfill his last wish.
The first and last parts of the film take place several decades in the future, when they are old. Martin has dementia and lives in a nursing home, but at Cheryl’s encouragement, he sings one last time in her garden for the fans gathered there. Remy, now an adult, escorts him to the microphone.
