The Invite Synopsis
Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Olivia Wilde) host a dinner at their home with their sophisticated neighbors Pina (Penélope Cruz) and Hawk (Edward Norton). What begins as a simple attempt to reconnect and ease tensions between the couples slowly unravels into an uncomfortable night of escalating honesty, shifting power dynamics, and emotional volatility.
As the evening progresses, polite conversation gives way to resentment, desire, and buried frustrations that refuse to stay hidden. Small provocations spiral into larger confrontations, exposing cracks in each relationship. The dinner becomes a pressure cooker where appearances collapse and the guests are forced to face uncomfortable truths about themselves — and each other.
Based on the motion picture Sentimental by Cesc Gay.
