In an evening of conversation and confidences, a group of Canadian academics gathers at a country house to enjoy dinner among friends. As the wine flows and laughter fills the air, their discussions become increasingly intimate, touching on themes of love, sex, and the ups and downs of romantic relationships. Each character, with their insecurities and yearnings, reveals a part of their soul, turning the dinner into a parade of comic and profound revelations.
Among them are a couple of friends who challenge the norms of cohabitation and commitment, as well as their respective partners, who are also not unfamiliar with the complexities of desire and intimacy. The sharp dialogues and dark humor expose the failures in their romantic lives and the struggle to find meaning amid emotional chaos. As the conversations progress, each character faces their own contradictions, leading to a deep analysis of human nature, love, and aging.
As the cycle of the night unfolds, tensions escalate, and friendships are put to the test, revealing not only each person's hidden desires but also the fragility of their relationships. In this exploration of love and friendship, the group realizes that perhaps the true challenge is not just about love itself, but about how to confront the inevitable loss of youth and the passage of time.
