The Players

In a series of vignettes, THE PLAYERS explores the theme of middle-aged male infidelity. While at the airport en route to a vacation, a wife accuses her husband of having an affair, and he nearly convinces her that it's not true until she surreptitiously checks his phone before takeoff. In the next story, back at home after a dinner party filled with conversation about affairs and cheating, a man (Valerio Mastandrea) admits that he has been unfaithful to his wife, who retaliates with secrets of her own. Then, a married man seeks sexual satisfaction through a "gloryhole" in a sex parlor. Next, a wannabe Don Juan out of town for a work convention (Riccardo Scamarcio) gets drunk and awkwardly fails at finding a woman to have sex with, and ends up humiliating himself in the middle of the night while trying to seduce a coworker. After this, a woman thinks she sees her husband receiving oral sex while he's driving his convertible; he gaslights her into requiring psychiatric care.
