Spoilers ahead

In the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington, Joey Boca, portrayed by Kevin Kline, epitomizes the conflict of a man who projects an image of loyalty while grappling with the shadows of his infidelity. Within the confined space of a confessional, he opens up to a priest about his betrayals, confessing to unfaithfulness toward his wife Rosalie, a character brought to life by Tracey Ullman, on at least seven occasions over the past two weeks. The burden of his sins weighs heavily on him, his mind racing to recall the intricate details of each affair. Despite his yearnings for forgiveness, there is a poignant lack of genuine remorse that permeates his confessions.
