Comedy

A wealthy Beverly Hills resident who has just become a widow, Clare Lipkin temporarily takes on her friend Lisabeth as a house guest. As the two women deal with their upper-class woes, Clare's driver, Frank, and Lisabeth's servant, Juan, make a wager to see who can be the first to seduce the other's boss.

VIBE

A sharp, biting satire that skewers the wealthy elite with witty banter and a cynical outlook. It’s a deliciously dark comedy of manners, exploring class and sexuality with a playful, yet pointed, touch.
