Ffion, a working-class Welsh woman, spends the holidays with her wealthy English boyfriend Seb and his intimidating, highly cultured family for the first time. Feeling like an outsider, she is pulled into the family's fiercely competitive traditional word game. As she learns its rules, she begins to pick up on clues that point to a dark secret the family keeps behind its polished manners, leaving her facing a choice about her own future.

Why we picked it

A parlour game becomes a test of belonging. Watch this dark comedy-mystery for sharp class satire and a family whose polished manners hide something troubling.

Class prejudice, disturbing family secrets and references to violence and exploitation.
