PLOT

A year after one of their ranks commits suicide, the remaining members of a Midwest bridge club — along with substitute Ellen — continue to hold their weekly game. The film uses a high-stakes card game as a metaphor for the complexities of human connection. As players navigate the intricacies of strategy and chance, their moves reveal deeper themes of trust, vulnerability, and the unpredictable nature of relationships. The narrative weaves humor with tension, inviting viewers to reflect on how every decision—both in the game and in life—carries emotional weight and potential for unexpected outcomes, resonating with the modern queer experience.
