Hygge ( 2023 )

A wealthy Danish couple each invite a brother (3rd brother in a coma in hospital) and the 3 brothers' S.O.s to a dinner party at their luxury cabin. After an initial crisis, when their adopted daughter discovers where meat comes from, the guests start arriving. Impressive food and expensive wines are served. The new and young (others in their 30s) SO, 12 weeks pregnant, suggests a game that she's had fun playing with friends. However, this is a very different group of 7 people/3½ couples. All place their cell phones on the table and they all hear the calls and messages are read out aloud. As refusing to play the game would be admitting to secrets, they're all forced to play along. Straight or gay, all have secrets. Secrets, that were meant to stay secret, are revealed.—Scott Filtenborg
