A group of old friends is gathering around a dinner table again. We can easily imagine ourselves in the same situation. However, the familiar stories and jokes take an entirely new turn when the friends decide to share all of the evening’s phone calls and texts with each other. The old friends’ small and large secrets are revealed. Privacy crumbles and they are suddenly defenceless. A small joke evolves into a destructive whirlwind. How much do we really want to learn about the secrets of others, even of those who are the closest to us, and how sensible would it be to reveal our own?
„Perfect Strangers“ is based on the director and screenwriter Paolo Genovese’s famous film of the same name (Perfetti sconosciuti, 2016).
