Nol King Ruter celebrates his 65th birthday with a grand banquet, inviting his closest family, friends and colleagues. Many join in, to give him an unforgettable day. During the festivities, old quarrels flare up, new loves arise, while Nol King Ruter challenges the dancers to battle over his legacy. The old master embodies the motto, dance is live and live is dance, and wants to shine one last time. He shows his younger colleagues how extremely fit he still seems and appears to have no burden of physical discomforts. Nol King Ruter really enjoys performing even though his body objects in the course (of) the feast. As a piéce the rèsistance Nol King Ruter dances a new performance with his daughter. His body suddenly refuses to dance any longer. Nol King Ruter finally has to give up the one thing he loves most.
