For a couple drifting apart, a pleasant evening becomes the ultimate test of their relationship. After 20 years, Thomas and Anna's marriage is not what it once was; constant accusations, daily disappointments, and the incessant pettiness between two people who can no longer stand each other have buried their supposedly undying love under a mountain of everyday problems and dirty laundry. When Anna invites the neighbors over for an aperitif and they make a surprisingly generous offer, the conflict between Anna and Thomas escalates and the night becomes a moment of truth.
The film will be shown with English subtitles.

The Neighbors from Upstairs (Die Nachbarn von oben), 2023,directed by Sabine Boss.
