Seven childhood friends with a lot of shared history and experiences, and a mutual death from their past, meet for dinner to watch a rare lunar eclipse. Their standard bourgeois encounter takes an unexpected turn when they start playing a game that will change the course of their lives forever: each text message, call or notification they receive on their phones is revealed for all to see. Betrayals, lies, secrets, and unresolved issues dating back 20 years simmer to the surface and put their long-standing friendships to the test. A superb adaptation of the 2016 Italian film of the same name, the film ends with a major twist.

PERFECT STRANGERS is the directorial debut of acclaimed Israeli movie star Lior Ashkenazi. He will take part in a live-over-Zoom Q&A following the film.

Tickets are $13.00 when you purchase in advance online.
