Master of dark humor Yasmina Reza creates a searing tale of three seemingly sophisticated friends. Serge has just purchased a peculiar painting for an exorbitant sum of money. However, Serge’s prestigious acquisition is met with confusion and disgust from his longtime friend Marc. The painting is nothing more than a white canvas with white diagonal lines. How could Serge have been deceived into valuing something so silly and juvenile? Another mutual friend Ivan is pulled into the heated exchange that gives way to personal attacks revealing the alarming fragility of the men’s bond.
