The Party

Janet, together with her husband Bill, arrange a cozy party in their house in London in honor of the woman's new position - she is now a minister. Her political career is in full bloom. Seven friends had a great time, drank wine, talked, shared the interesting things that happened to them recently. But that was until the seemingly very calm Bill made a statement that dramatically changed the mood of the group. A real shock came over everyone present, because no one expected this. An evening that started with a glass of champagne can end with shooting a real gun.
