Playing Nice (2024)
In a world where the lines between right and wrong blur with every heartbeat, Playing Nice delivers a chilling and emotionally charged exploration of parenthood, identity, and the fragility of trust. When two families discover that their toddlers were accidentally switched at birth, what begins as a tragic mistake spirals into a moral battlefield.
Set against the backdrop of everyday life unraveling, the film follows Pete and Maddie, who must confront not only the unsettling truth but also the parents of the child they’ve unknowingly raised as their own. Emotions run raw as the weight of biology and love collide—testing marriages, challenging loyalties, and uncovering hidden darkness beneath polite smiles.
As tension escalates, Playing Nice becomes a psychological chess game, one where every move could shatter a child’s future. Who deserves to raise the children? What defines a parent? And how far will someone go to protect the bond they’ve nurtured?
With taut direction and deeply human performances, this is not just a thriller—it’s an emotional reckoning. Love is not always clean. Decisions are not always kind. And in the end, nobody walks away unscathed.
Playing Nice is a heart-pounding meditation on the price of doing what’s “right.”
