The synopsis of “Carnage” is as follows:

“‘Carnage’ is a razor sharp, biting comedy centered on parental differences. After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the “victim” invite the parents of the “bully” over to work out their issues. A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colors. None of them will escape the carnage.”

Below is a clip from the film. You can learn more about the film at its official site as well as its Facebook page.
