Xingu

In a brilliant comedy of manners, a group of self-styled intellectuals gathers to discuss a topic they are terrified to admit they do not understand. Their desperate attempts to appear cultured are manipulated by a guest who sees through their facade. The escalating pretense leads to a humiliating but hilarious revelation about the nature of the "Xingu." It is a timeless skewering of snobbery and the fear of appearing ignorant.
