An Inspector Calls

2015 · 97 min

A playful, theatrical whodunit that turns a posh party into an uneasy interrogation, mixing slapstick with a creeping sense of shared guilt.

Overview: An unexpected inspector drops by a lavish party of a notable family in order to investigate the suicide of a pregnant girl. This breaks the joy and peace of the party which is meant to celebrate a couple's engagement. Everyone claims that they do not know the girl. However, the inspector does find something suspicious there with the help of a diary and a photo. An astonishing truth is gradually revealed: six of the noble family members are closely related to the girl's death.
