on the plot.
The three couples, consisting of Andrew and Isabelle, Zoe and Dave, and Owen and Emily, gather at a remote desert house to support their friend, Andrew, after the death of his mother. Andrew is struggling to cope with the loss, and his friends are there to offer him emotional support and distract him from his grief.
As the night wears on, Andrew reveals his true intentions for bringing his friends together: he wants them to all have sex with him. His proposal shocks and disgusts his friends, and they try to dissuade him from the idea. However, Andrew becomes increasingly insistent and begins to emotionally manipulate them into going along with his plan.
Each couple grapples with the idea of consenting to Andrew's request, with tensions rising as the night goes on. As secrets are revealed and past traumas resurface, the group's dynamic begins to unravel. By the end of the night, they must confront the consequences of their actions and the irreparable damage done to their relationships.
The Big Ask explores themes of grief, consent, sexuality, and the complexities of friendship. It was directed by Thomas Beatty and Rebecca Fishman, and stars David Krumholtz, Jason Ritter, and Gillian Jacobs.
