| A woman brings a man home to meet her husband. The open marriage collapses overnight. Marnie and Philip have been necking all evening. Necking at the party, necking in the car. When Marnie brings Philip home, they are greeted by William, her husband. Marnie and William are serious about parties, and they're not going to let their guest get away so quickly. So William serves Scotch. They laugh their way through awkwardness. And neck some more. And dance. |

| "A luscious mélange of Jean-Luc Godard and François Ozon, this suitably black-and-white love
triangle manages to find the right balance between uncomfortable edginess and droll levity. Marnie and Philip are having
a ball while getting to know each other physically... until the husband walks in. Really bad faux-pas or free love gone
awry?" -- Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival |
