Plot – Armand and Albert have been living together for years and they work together at 'The Birdcage', the nightclub they manage. When Val, Armand's son, tells them his intention to get married, the couple has to prepare to meet the girl's parents and Val thinks it's better not to reveal their real relationship because they are very conservative people.
