Edward a Dreyfus

The Poker Players Edward a Dreyfus

George has been playing poker with the same four men for over thirty years, but it takes six months for him to tell them about his divorce. The men, all in their 70s, realize that in all the years they have been playing cards together, they have not learned much about one another and spent little time in their weekly poker game talking about anything meaningful. Their conversations have always been about the cards, sports, politics, and money, but nothing personal. When they decide to go away together for a weekend to get to know each other better, they discover that they all have secrets which, when shared with one another, change their relationships with each other, themselves, and their families. This psychological drama explores the light and the dark aspects of human beings, male relationships, and how secrets affect their lives.
