New Showbiz Analysis

The film operates as a character-driven comedy centered around traditional social archetypes. While it subverts expectations regarding marital fidelity through a lens of conventional masculine bonding, it does so without addressing systemic issues. The narrative's subversion is moral rather than identity-based, focusing on individual interpersonal dysfunction among a specific, homogeneous group of men.

Official Synopsis

Four childhood friends, all married with no passion left, get together in a high school reunion dinner. Between laughs and drinks, they all agree that they love their wives but no longer desire them. Together they hatch an illogical project: a secret club for men who want to cheat, so that they themselves can regain lust for their wives.
