The Favor (1994)

In the heart of suburban tranquility, Kathy, a woman tethered to a content yet unexciting marriage with Peter, finds herself teetering on the precipice of curiosity and regret. Her mind is consumed by tantalizing 'what ifs' about her high school sweetheart, Tom. As the imminent 15-year reunion looms, these fantasies grow more vivid, painting a vibrant tapestry of a life never lived. However, being bound by the chains of matrimony, Kathy cannot explore these fantasies. So, she enlists her best friend, Emily, to dive into the past for her and discover if the spark with Tom is as electrifying as her fantasies paint it to be. Emily's mission: to sleep with Tom and report back to Kathy. When Emily returns with tales of passion and excitement, a tempest of emotions is unleashed, crashing against the tranquil shores of Kathy's life. The once unshakeable bond between Kathy and Emily begins to crack under the strain of this odd arrangement, echoing the fractures appearing in Kathy's marriage. As the storm intensifies, Emily finds herself in the eye of it, discovering she's pregnant. Now, she's caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty, not knowing if the father is Tom or her boyfriend, Elliot. "The Favor" weaves a complex narrative of friendship, love, and the choices we make, all set against the backdrop of an impending high school reunion. The once calm waters of Kathy's life are stirred, creating waves that reach far beyond her immediate world, and things get deliciously complicated.
