Felix discovers that his wife is cheating on him while they are attending a slick Hollywood party. A life-long doormat, Felix struggles to process this, and what he should do next.
We are dropped into this film with Felix already having just discovered what we are catching up on, and it is a nice way to begin, because it is not a film that lingers long on anything. As the film swoops around the swanky hill-side house party, we figure out who Felix is as a person. While this tempts the viewer to blame him for his wife's attraction to someone more 'powerful', the film manages to keep us on his side. The ending is a nicely played as it gives the viewer in essence what we were looking for, but yet stays true to the core of Felix as a character - he doesn't suddenly become someone he isn't. It took me a minute, but it worked well.
Aesthetically the film looks, sounds, and moves, really well - all of which suits the short running time and the light touch on plotting.
