Single mother Maria lives with her son and daughter in a science city, which is being prepared for liquidation. She believes that her physicist husband, who disappeared six years ago during a scientific experiment, is somewhere nearby — just in another dimension. A former colleague of her husband arrives in the city in search of the missing person's records, and Maria has a boyfriend-trucker Stas, ready to take her away with her children and start a new life together. Faced with a choice, a woman can not decide to leave her invisible husband.

Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity. Whereas films preceding it were often somber stories about the tribulations of being gay in a conservatively straight world, Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May expose the fallacies of conservatism as traditional values are thrown into a more open-minded space. They don’t care how far the community has fallen so much as how high they can rebuild themselves.
