What can an innocent old friend become? social night if jessica joins it? Aren't you familiar with Jessica?! Oh, she is the famous drama queen, the modern writer who flirts with everyone without exception! It is not for nothing that the retelling of her stormy life, which caused a great resonance, is called a selection of porn memoirs.
So, in a luxurious London mansion located in a respectable district of Hampstead, an event is expected in the best British traditions: a small circle of friends, polite smiles, stiff conversation at the table, bridge after a meal and other sweet little things.
In the oven, clafoutis with cherries are being made, bottles withered from the cold are waiting, preparations for the evening are in full swing, and there are no signs of any surprises...
And now the guests have relaxed from the amount of claret they drank and have come to terms with the need until the blackness of the night, getting bored with stories about this and that, until suddenly... Something unexpected happens, such as swashbuckling … with Jessica.
Glamour's writer has prepared deadly entertainment, and now everyone is in for a night full of surprises. Pandora's box is open: those present start a desperate competition with their eccentric actions.
Pulling out skeletons from all the closets, exposing a pile of dirty secrets for public viewing, they don't even know where the flow of this unsolicited truth will lead.
An amazing black comedy with characteristic British humor is not allowed to relax for a moment, it keeps in tension, balancing on the dangerous border between sharp satire and reflection on the vicissitudes of love in the postmodern era.
From time to time it begins to seem that we are watching a film made by Frank Capra in collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock - sophisticated, even virtuoso.
Stylish cinema, a constellation of extremely beautiful actors, sparkling dialogues, full of nerve-wracking drive - the social evening with Jessica is undeniably a success. Put your disbelief aside and enjoy!
