Adapted from Harold Pinter’s enigmatic play, the film follows a boarder living in a British seaside house who is visited by two strangers. They barrage him with verbal abuse, pose absurd, unanswerable questions, compel him to sit and stand, and stage a bizarre “party” before finally removing him, a tongue‑twisted fool. The ordinary becomes terrifying, provoking both wonder and pity.
