The film
In 2019 at Yale University, among a circle of philosophy professors and students, Alma Imhoff - a successful PhD candidate returning after a period of medical treatment - hosts a social dinner alongside her husband, the psychiatrist Frederik. In the end, her friend (and former lover) Hank leaves the party with their student, Maggie. The next day, Maggie confides in Alma that Hank sexually assaulted her. However, Hank denies the accusation, claiming it is false and driven only by resentment over a fraudulent exam. Torn between these two accounts, Alma must decide whom to believe.
