Catfight

In a world humming with the uneasy quiet of geopolitical unease, two women whose lives have drifted far apart find themselves thrown together at a seemingly ordinary gathering. Veronica moves through the polished corridors of a wealthy household, her outward composure masking a restless dependency on alcohol and a growing sense of emptiness that tinges every interaction with her husband and son. Meanwhile, Ashley lives amid the precarious bustle of an artist’s studio, fighting to sell her work while the strain in her relationship with her girlfriend hangs like a fragile canvas waiting for the next brushstroke.

The backdrop of distant tensions between nations mirrors the private battles each woman carries. Veronica’s marriage is strained by expectations she never asked for, her son’s ambitions casting a shadow that only deepens her isolation. Ashley wrestles with the relentless pressure to be seen, her financial insecurity gnawing at the edges of her creative vision. Their shared past, a college friendship that once seemed full of promise, lies buried beneath years of unsaid grievances and unexamined insecurities.

When the two cross paths again, the air crackles with an unspoken history that neither can ignore. Small talk quickly becomes a delicate dance of barbs and lingering glances, each woman sensing the other’s hidden wounds. The party’s festive veneer begins to feel like a stage for something far more primal, hinting at a confrontation that could expose the raw edges of their identities.

The film settles into a tone that is both intimate and stark, blending the quiet dread of personal unraveling with the broader anxieties of an unsettled world. Its visual style leans into muted colors and tight close‑ups, drawing the viewer into the simmering tension that simmers just beneath the surface, promising a clash that will force both Veronica and Ashley to confront the parts of themselves they have long tried to keep hidden.
