The perfect secret
Comedy by Paolo Genovese based on the original Italian film »Perfetti Sconoscuiti«
German by Sabine Heymann
Rocco and his wife Eva have invited their long known and trusted friends over for dinner and from what Rocco is conjuring up in the kitchen, there is every indication that it will be a pleasant and harmonious evening. But while the pots are still sizzling in the kitchen, Eva gets into an argument with her adolescent daughter Sofia. The doorbell rings to save them from the argument and the guests arrive: Carlotta and her husband Lele, who have been together for ten years and have two children, Bianca and Cosimo, newlyweds and lovers, and finally Pepe, who unexpectedly turns up without his new girlfriend.
The first course is served and instead of hilarity, the friends are initially tense. To lighten the mood, the hostess finally suggests a game that turns into a challenge: all the mobile phones are placed on the table that evening, incoming calls are played out loud and incoming messages are read aloud. Reluctantly, everyone finally gives in to the experiment. As the next courses are placed on the table and the wine glasses are steadily filled, beads of sweat visibly appear on faces with every ringtone and long-hidden secrets are revealed. It becomes clear that the truth is not always the truth - nobody leaves this dinner unscathed.
The star-studded German adaptation of the play based on the film of the same name won the German Film Award 2020 in the category »Best Film«.
