Your high school crush walks in and suddenly everyone's playing dirty.
Recorded in Theatre de Fontainebleau. The story is about three high school friends in their forties who meet regularly for dinner. One evening, a fourth person is invited, the girl with whom all three were in love in high school. Then begins a part of the Game of Truth where indiscreet questions, sharp spikes and revelations come together. The piece is published by Art & Comedy (2007) and released on DVD.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This filmed stage production preserves the original 2002 Paris run that made Philippe Lellouche a theater star.
The 'dîner entre amis' gone wrong is a distinctly French dramatic tradition—think Rohmer with sharper teeth.
