Behind the civilized exteriors of the middle-class mariage of Jan and Adam is a tangle of neediness, hostility and resentment. 50 Words is a minute-by-minute presentation of searing marital conflict.

The owners of an exclusive restaurant and various diners act out their private dramas over dinner; their conversations are exquisite burlesques of contemporary attitudes.
