“In every life...for every love...with every trust...there is a risk of Betrayal.”

Drama

An affair between a literary agent and his best friend's wife, unfolding in reverse-chronological order.

VIBE

A masterclass in dramatic tension. This film feels like a slow, agonizing unraveling of trust, told with Pinter's signature oblique dialogue and a creeping sense of dread. It's a stark, intimate look at the quiet devastation of infidelity.
