Plot: The investment broker Nancy and her husband Alan visit the aspirant writer Penelope and her husband, the salesman Michael in Brooklyn, New York, to amicably discuss the incident between their eleven year-old sons, Zachary and his classmate, Ethan. Along the discussion, they eat, drink, and change their civilized behavior, revealing their real feelings about the situation in a clash of egos and war of the sexes.
Alternative Plot: When some roughhousing between two 11-year-old boys named Zachary and Ethan erupts into real violence, Ethan loses two teeth. Zachary's parents, Alan and Nancy Cowen (Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz), meet with Ethan's parents, Penelope and Michael Longstreet (Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly), to try to smooth things over. However, what starts as a polite meeting among adults descends into finger-pointing, tantrums and insults. Based on the play "God of Carnage" by Yasmina Reza.
