In Patrick Brice's comedy-drama The Overnight, two very different couples have a wild night of drinking and debauchery after their children go to bed following a playdate. Emily (Taylor Schilling) and Alex (Adam Scott) recently moved from Seattle to L.A, and they're feeling a little out of sorts -- they haven't made any new friends, and caring for their young son has left them constantly exhausted and sexually unsatisfied. That all changes when they meet Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) and his French wife Charlotte (Judith Godrèche), who invite both of them and their child over to their home. Emily and Alex are in awe of the hipper couple, who initially appear to be both better parents and happier spouses; as the night wears on, however, Kurt and Charlotte's bizarre dysfunctions threaten to expose the fissures in Alex and Emily's own marriage.
