Party. With family.

ComedyDramaTV Movie

Colin has rented a stately country home for his extended family’s New Year celebrations. He’s the centre of attention until his estranged brother David unexpectedly arrives, throwing the family dynamic far off orbit.

VIBE

A painfully realistic portrayal of a family gathering gone awry. Expect simmering tensions, passive-aggressive barbs, and the quiet dread of social obligation. It feels like being trapped in a room with people you love but also deeply resent.
