Five ill, middle-age men share a hospital room. All come from different worlds and have very little in common, but over time, they develop a friendship based upon the life they share in the hospital. The men’s conversations usually center about food. They are all forced to eat the salt-free food provided by the hospital, and this situation further stimulates not only their appetite for rich meals, but a hunger for itself. Their daily routine is made up of invasive tests, incompetent nurses and arrogant doctors who trob them of their dignity. Time seems to stand still. Their diagnoses are very slow in coming and the patients must simply live in complete ignorance and wait. A discussion between the professor and the head physician induces the men of room 104 to plan a dinner for the coming Saturday when the staff is reduced. This dinner becomes the expression of their rebellion for after weeks of imprisonment they can finally exercise the freedom to do whatever they want. Subsequently their plans are discovered, but instead of giving up, they barricade themselves in their room. Soon they are besieged by the head physician, the nurses, the director of the ward, even by the police and the press. In vain doctors and relatives repeatedly appeal to them. Because of their illnesses, at least two of them will die if they continue eating. However, the men in room 104 hold on, maintaining their right to make that choice. It seems that neither life, nor death is more important than completing their dinner. But much more will transpire before the night is through.
