Synopsis

"Triangle of Sadness" is a contemporary satire that begins in the fashion world’s elite through the model couple Carl and Yaya, continues on a luxury yacht with millionaires, friendly arms dealers, and a Marxist captain, and ends on a deserted island where hierarchies in the fight for survival are turned upside down.
