Janet hosts a small celebration with her husband Bill, and a few close friends. As the evening unfolds, personal revelations, confessions, and betrayals turn the gathering into chaos. Sally Potter's short, deliciously entertaining dark comedy unfolds entirely within one London home. The performances are wonderful and Aleksei Rodionov's black and white cinematography looks terrific.
