Wild Game 2023

Eva and Rúnar play hosts for a dinner party in their upscale neighborhood, inviting five guests. However, one couple fails to arrive as the woman discovers her partner’s infidelity through a glance at his phone. In a bid to highlight honesty, Eva encourages everyone to place their mobile devices on the table and unlock them, leading to a variety of reactions among the guests.

Among the group is Steini, who, after receiving an unexpected erotic message, realizes it’s merely a prank orchestrated by host Rúnar. Meanwhile, Pétur receives a call from his sister, which reveals that he is applying for a new job in the north. The atmosphere shifts when Eva answers a call from her father, informing her that she will need to have breast augmentation surgery. This revelation leaves the guests surprised and somewhat uncomfortable.

As the evening progresses, Leifur, who is waiting for a woman to send him provocative pictures, asks Pétur to swap phones, but Pétur outright refuses. Elevated tensions arise when Eva rejects the taste of a sauce that Rúnar cooked, throwing it down the sink in disgust. The awkwardness escalates when Hildur, after receiving advice from a friend to be more assertive in her sexual life, inadvertently brings up uncomfortable topics.

As tension mounts, the men receive text messages regarding an upcoming football game, much to Leifur’s annoyance as he is left out of the loop. Fed up, Hildur, growing more intoxicated, lashes out by splattering wine on Rúnar. Seizing the moment of chaos, Leifur discreetly swaps phones, leading to Pétur discovering an explicit picture which prompts him to smash his phone in distress.

The night spirals further when Leifur receives a message from a famous football player on Pétur’s phone, creating a need for an awkward explanation. As a volcano erupts in the distance, serving as a powerful metaphor for the hostilities brewing within the gathering, the group heads outside for a photo.

While outside, Björg receives messages from her ex, making the atmosphere even more charged. Meanwhile, Rúnar takes a call from his teenage daughter, who speaks ill of her mother without realizing she is listening. The situation worsens when Leifur picks up another call on Pétur’s phone from the football star, resulting in Steini discovering that the celebrated player is gay.

The drama culminates when more messages unveil infidelities and reveal troubling secrets among the guests, resulting in shattered marriages and fractured friendships as the night draws to a close. As the chaos unfolds, it becomes apparent that the facade of their relationships might not withstand the revelations brought to light during this fateful dinner gathering.
