A modern painting sparks a debate about art, splintering the relationship between three old friends. When Serge pays a large sum of money for an essentially white painting, Marc takes it as a personal betrayal. Yvan just wants everyone to get along, so naturally he's the one that gets punched in the ear. In the end they are forced to examine not only their friendship, but their lives. Reza's cleverly insightful comedy has won best play honors in the U.S., France, and England.
