Ellen (Diane Lane), a professor at the prestigious Georgetown University, and star chef Paul (Kyle Chandler) are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. While the guests are enjoying themselves, Ellen can't shake the feeling that she already knows her son's new girlfriend. Liz (Phoebe Dynevor) turns out to be a former student who was expelled from the university for her ‘anti-democratic views’. Now she is on the verge of initiating a social paradigm shift with the movement ‘The Change’ that will shake the entire American political system. Suddenly, Ellen must fight not only for the cohesion of her family, but also for the freedom and values of an entire country.
In his English-language debut, director Jan Komasa (CORPUS CHRISTI, THE HATER) incisively dissects the spread of a fascist ideology in seemingly stable circles. What happens when politics divides an entire family? How steadfast is democracy? At the heart of this stroke of genius is an exciting young ensemble led by Diane Lane (UNTREU) and Kyle Chandler (BLOODLINE). A view of the near future that is as dark as it is enlightening.
