The Four of Us

In THE FOUR OF US, two couples who agreed to swap four weeks earlier meet for a weekend getaway. Maria (Paula Kalenberg) has been living with struggling actor Ben (Louis Nitsche). Maria's partner Nils (Jonas Nay), a wealthy real estate broker, has been living with Janina (Nilam Farooq), a magazine staff writer trying to claw her way up the ladder at a trendy publication. Janina had proposed the swap but it was Maria's wholehearted enthusiasm that sold the men on the deal. Maria stipulated only one rule: no sex. Now Ben and Maria announce they've broken the rule, at first suggesting that they want to remain a couple and leave their original partners. The revelation causes traumatic responses all around and unleashes seemingly honest discussions about what each of them needs in a relationship. Emotions run high as the members of the close four-way friendship grapple with what they really feel and what they really want.
