An Ideal Husband


Set around the turn of the (previous) century, this comedy is about trust in relationships. A business woman tries to blackmail a politician to vote in her favour. He turns to his best friend for advice, and one thing leads to another, making the situation simultaneously more complex and hilarious. And soon friends and lovers are lying to each other, with the best of intentions...
