BEEF tells the story of an BBQ evening hosted by Marc, a somewhat peculiar perfectionist. Everything is planned to be meticulous. The serviettes matching with the plastic cutlery and cups - and of course the guests. His ex-girlfriend (who brings her new boyfriend along), two sisters (the one has a crush on Marc and the other is a Vegetarian!) and two strange men (one of whom seems to fancy Marc and the other just quietly digs into the food). Everything could have been so perfect, as Marc had planned - but the guests end up ridiculing Marc and reduce the host to a servant, but they forget that he who laughs last...

Toivo, a university student comes back to the City to finish his bachelor's degree.

As if that is not enough chaos, Toivo discovers that his sister, Maggy, has been prostituting herself in order to make ends meet since their brother's passing. As his life crumbles away, Toivo is forced to put himself through education, protect the family and come to terms with the revelation that has been in bed with the same individual responsible for his current life.
