Carnage

Two sets of parents meet in a New York apartment to discuss a playground incident involving their sons. What begins as a seemingly civilized discussion about the incident quickly devolves into a chaotic and hilarious battle of egos, accusations, and repressed emotions. As the night progresses, the veneer of civility cracks, revealing the primal instincts and underlying tensions between the couples.
