The guest of honour is bored at a surprise party thrown in his honour and so flees from the claustrophobic chit-chat. Attracted by a light, he runs into the forest and ends up in a house that looks like it's been taken from a fairy tale. At that very moment 'Omdat De Nacht...' begins, in which Youp searches for shelter with the beautiful young lady who lives in this wonderful house. But if there's one thing she wasn't wanting then it's a Youp who never shuts up about his incurable midlife-crisis. He does everything he can to convince the lady that she's safe and warm with him... but will he succeed?
