The film is about a bunch of friends who all have their little secrets and little white lies. They go on a holiday sponsored by the most successful of them, despite the fact that another good friend of them lies in Hospital after a serious accident a few days ago. There are some drug problems and topics about homosexuality, promiscuity, fame and gender relation. Its also about love, loyalty and friendships in general. Each of the characters tries to hold up a facade because of some personal weakness. The unspoken common goal of the party is to banish the darker sides of existence (loneliness, death, ...) by the means of fun, silly behavior and even drugs. In that the film is a mirror of our society to some degree. In the film the friends come behind the secrets of each other, which leads in some cases to tensions. But they also have to face that they are lying to themselves. Some of the actors deliver good character studies of a generation in their 30ies to 40ies striving for success and/or fun in life. I don't understand the movies end. Considering the characters former behavior I do not know if the film shows self pity then or if maybe its even meant cynical on purpose. For I thought the film was quite cynical the ending seems too melodramatic and tear-jerking. But in general I can recommend this movie.
