The Marquis de la Chesnaye and his wife host a weekend gala where a variety of complicated romantic and social entanglements between guests and servants lead to tragedy, all against the backdrop of a looming war.
A razor-sharp dissection of the French upper class, this film crackles with witty dialogue and simmering resentments. It's a darkly comedic, yet ultimately tragic, look at love, jealousy, and the suffocating rules of society.
