Description:

Under a full moon, seven friends, comprising three couples and one single, gather for a seemingly ordinary dinner party. The evening takes an unexpected turn when one friend, a therapist, proposes a chilling theory: very few relationships could endure if smartphone messages and emails were made public. Intrigued and believing they have nothing to hide, the assembled guests agree to a daring game. They unlock their telephones, committing to share every incoming message, call, and email with the entire group. As the night progresses, what begins as an innocent parlor game quickly spirals into a tense exploration of hidden truths. It becomes painfully clear that each participant leads lives across three distinct realms: the carefully curated public facade, the intimate private sphere, and the deeply guarded, often shocking, secret existence. This radical act of full disclosure forces them to confront the true price their long-standing relationships will pay when every secret is laid bare.
