All members of the group were able to simply carry on with their lives after the fighting stopped - apart from one, their leader, Castille. He was killed after his name was given to the Germans in a grand betrayal. The dinner party becomes a reliving of that fateful night which plays out in real time, as each attendee's personality and honesty is thrust into the spotlight as they root out the traitor among them.</div><div><br></div><div><div><i>"</i><i>Uncovering hidden identities from the past bring together Orson Welles’s&nbsp;</i>The Stranger<i>&nbsp;and Julien Duvivier’s&nbsp;</i>Marie-Octobre<i>.
