Chinese Whispers – Coming Soon

Nothing is quite how it sounds in Chinese Whispers – a multi-award-winning British drama feature, from Deborah Hadfield (The Kindness of Strangers), that’s filled with romance, comedy and surprising twists.

Earing plaudits galore on the festival circuit, the film features a stellar cast of British actors including Jonathan Bremner (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), Rose Muirhead (Mama’s Watching), John Ian Mason (We Too Together), Howard J. Davey (The Loch Ness Horror), Tim Bryn Smith (Surrender to It, Dream Team) and renowned sports commentator Arlo White (Ted Lasso).

A group of old university friends reunite for a Christmas Eve Chinese to honour the memory of their dead friend Bryan (Smith), but the night takes an unexpected and eventful turn when buried secrets and hidden agendas are unearthed.

Jet setting host Jay (Bremner) hires Cindy (Muirhead) to be his girlfriend for the evening, unaware that she has ulterior motives. Superstar sportsman Anthony (White) is proof that the dazzle of fame can disguise deeper issues, surfer Harry (Davey) hides his own tragic tale, and the mysterious lan (Mason) is haunted by a dark obsession with death and a desire to extract the truth at any cost.

Though Jay’s glamorous action man lifestyle looks ideal from the outside, he too hides a shameful past and as a night of mayhem ensues, the deceiving stories of their successful lives are about to come crashing down.

Get in on the secret with Chinese Whispers – a gripping tale of duplicity, trauma, love, loss, regret and acceptance.
