IMBROGLIO

Four friends gather to celebrate a scholarship that one of them has received to study abroad. What starts as a fun night quickly turns into a nightmare when one friend is poisoned and dies. The three remaining friends each become suspects, hiding their own secrets. As the police investigate, their stories clash and create a confusing web of lies and half-truths. The film takes us back to the days leading up to the tragedy, showing events through the twisted memories and deceptions of each character. The truth is buried in their conflicting views, challenging the audience to rethink what they believe they know.
