Behind The Screens

Seven close friends gather for a dinner party. Early in the meal, one of the friends, a relationship therapist, says that she is convinced that many couples would separate if they saw the messages on each other's phones. As the friends debate this contention, they agree—some of them reluctantly—to play a game. They will each place their phone on the table and share their messages and calls with the rest of the group. At first, the game seems harmless; no one has anything to hide. Gradually, the calls and messages become more compromising. As the calls continue, the network of lies and secrets becomes increasingly tangled. Almost no one at the table is spared.
