The film centres around a dinner which is constantly interrupted by the comings and goings of its well to do guests as they attempt to project well-heeled respectability while carrying on surreptitiously with their somewhat venal personal lives. It’s a film about appearances and the lengths people will go to in order to protect their reputations – justified or not. (Independent Cinema Office)
