Three's a Crowd
JUNE 2026. CALL YOUR BOYFRIEND(S) ✨🩷
The weather is getting warmer, which means… love is in the air. But sharing is caring, so why keep it to just one person? With the comeback of our favorite French love triangle Une femme est une femme, Filmhuis Den Haag presents: Three’s a Crowd.
This June, replace your husband with his best friend, sleep with your roommate (or two twins at the same time), throw your (tennis)balls at the same girl, or simply size up your bed. No matter how messy it gets, we’ll get messier.
From impossible crushes and accidental affairs to ménage-à-trois disasters and emotionally catastrophic flirtation, Three’s a Crowd celebrates cinema’s favorite romantic equation: one plus one plus one. Because why choose between heartbreak, jealousy, lust and emotional devastation when you can have it all?
Come for the romance. Stay for the collateral damage. We know you want to.
Pick a side. Or don't ;)
