Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt—pulling her and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal.

Screening following its selection at the prestigious BFI London Film Festival, this is an unmissable cinematic revival of a classic play, with Tessa Thompson (Passing) at the very top of her game.
