Life X 3

In Life (x) 3, Henry and Sonia, charged with hosting a dinner party for one of Henry's colleagues and his wife, are in the midst of ordinary evening activities when their door is buzzed: Their guests have arrived a full day earlier than planned. Should Sonia greet the guests, Hubert and Inez, in her robe? Should Henry do all he can to keep their son quiet, or appease him to make sure things go off without a hitch? And when the guests do appear, and professional and personal conflicts arise, should they be confronted head-on, more covertly, or just ignored all together? One of the story's three incarnations focuses primarily on how people believe when secrets and confidences are baldly exposed, another suggests the intricate interaction of words and the truly fragile human spirit. As the alcohol at this party flows freely, its effects change as the reasons surrounding its consumption change.
