Two couples meet at a chic Paris apartment to discuss a brutal incident involving their children. As the evening unfolds, polite civility gives way to tense revelations, strategic misdirections, and brittle humor, exposing the fragility of adult façades. Secrets surface, loyalties are tested, and the conversation spirals into a sharp, darkly comic examination of judgment, power, and the boundaries of social performance. With restrained dialogue and escalating unease, the gathering becomes a microcosm of modern civility under pressure, where everyday decorum clashes with primal impulses and the truth is continually reframed.
