Perfect Strangers

An Italian comedy-drama film released in 2016, directed and co-written by Paolo Genovese. The story follows seven close friends who gather for a dinner party during a total lunar eclipse. During the meal, Eva, a relationship therapist, asserts that many couples would separate if they saw each other's phone contents. Consequently, the friends decide to play a game: they place their phones on the table and agree to share all incoming messages and calls. Initially, the game seems harmless, but gradually compromising facts are revealed: a married woman is found to be having an affair, and a man pretending to have a girlfriend hides his true nature. As calls and messages continue, the web of lies and secrets becomes increasingly tangled, affecting almost everyone at the table. By the end of the night, the group's friendships and marriages face serious challenges. The film explores themes of personal privacy, honesty, and the complexities of human relationships in the digital age.
