Drama
Ariane and Gerhard Christ, a wealthy Munich couple, plan for the weekend on separate trips, lying to the other about their trysts. However, their itineraries are complicated when they both arrive at the family's country home with their respective lovers.
VIBE
A suffocating, quiet tension permeates this drama. It feels like a meticulously staged, uncomfortable dinner party where unspoken resentments simmer beneath a veneer of civility. The air is thick with unspoken truths and simmering psychological unease.
