While Sonia is also invited and is supposed to join her swain the coming day, Pete drives over on that veritably day to spend one whole day catching up with old buddies. Driving down from the megacity to the country, as George’s parents enjoy a sprawling estate where the party is supposed to be held, Pete takes a stop to relieve himself and sees a mewling canine helplessly tied to a hedge. Going near to see if he can help it out, the man spots an old hatchback auto situated on the grounds with loud music playing outside. Pete tries to take a near look when suddenly, a homeless man resting inside the auto jumps out and chases him down, forcing him to run back to his auto and make an escape.
After driving some further, now acting to have lost his way, Pete asks a senior gentleman on the road for directions. The man does help Pete out, but not before joking around and pulling his leg by acting to be crazed. Eventually, Pete arrives at the country house, but unlike his prospects, the place is empty. Allowing that his friends might have gone off nearly differently, or might not have arrived, the man sits around in the salon drinking beer for many twinkles and also many hours, before dozing off to sleep. nearly in the evening, the musketeers arrive at the house and explain that they allowed
Pete would get caught up in an accident on the track and so had gone off to the original cantina for drinks. All the friends in the group are now revealed — George, who hails from a rich strain; his woman Fig; a rich and medicine-loving man called Archie; and Pete’sex-lover Claire. still, a sixth person soon enters the scene an original, slightly senior man called Harry, who does feel out of place in the lavish house of the richest men and women, has been invited to the party by the musketeers after they made familiarity with him in the cantina
After some time, still, Pete finds it a hard time fitting in with his friends, as commodity feels off and different. nothing seems too interested in hearing Pete talk, as he tries to partake in his recent volunteering trip at an exile camp. He tries to talk about his weird gests driving down to the house, and has to make two or three attempts at it as he just can not hold his friends ’ attention. Eventually, when he does tell the story of his hassle with the old man with directions, he realizes that the same man is standing inside the room and looks relatively disrespected by his account. Pete learns that the man is Norman, some kind of hired help at George’s country house. When the friends talk about a certain “ Plank, ” a youthful man they had formerly socialized with, Pete doesn't feel to flashback and rather tries talking about how stupidly disturbing effects they used to do when youthful, which again, nothing is interested in hail. He also learns that Claire had tried self-murder after he'd left the country, and Pete can not help but suppose that he's to be substantially criticized for this.
As the evening progresses, Pete grows an uncomfortable air of dubitation toward the foreigner Harry, whom he feels has been trying to get all the attention at a birthday party organized for Pete. Also, Harry’s mysterious habit of pulling out a small pocketbook and scribbling effects in it whenever Pete says commodity about himself makes the ultimate suspect that this foreigner is then to ever beget detriment to him. This dubitation nearly turns to sweat when, latterly that evening, Pete spots the same old hatchback auto that had before housed the homeless man, situated in front of George’s house.
What Is Harry’s Real Identity?
From then on, Pete’s evening gets indeed more uncomfortable around his formerly-dear musketeers, but substantially due to his difference of opinion. He gets offended when Archie uses a not- so- politically correct word and denies ever having used it when Archie says that he used to love the word. Pete had also commended George that he was about to propose to Sonia, and George had advised him of Claire’s history incident and that she was presumably still not over Pete. George had said to Pete that it would be better if he didn't speak of his offer or engagement to Claire, but Claire does ever get to know about it and tête-à-tête congratulates Pete for it. The man also claims that he and Fig had formerly kissed while in council, which Fig says she has no memory of while among all their musketeers, and also confronts Pete, saying that he's lying when the two of them are alone.
Late at night, he hears his friends agitating commodity downward, and he distrustfully tries to find out what it is, but to no mileage. Pete also finds it strange that his herbal anti-stress capsules are missing and also becomes angry when he sees that his drug has been replaced with elated tablets. He suspects Harry to have done it, as the two have been given the same room to partake, but decides to try and probe the matter on his own without any original battle. On a coming morning, he goes through Harry’s effects and finds a picture of a little girl on the man’s phone that he seems to identify. The guilt of letting Claire down in love and laterally leading her towards killing herself catches up with Pete’s heart as he has agony about it, and it's all the more jacked when he learns that Claire has formally left the party beforehand in the morning the coming day.
As his friends, who now feel to be full of practical jokes, leave him alone with Harry to walk to the nearest cantina to celebrate, Pete spends long twinkles of awkward discussion with the man he suspects of trying to hurt him. Eventually, at one point, Pete comes clean and tells Harry to leave, saying how intolerable he finds the man’s presence at his birthday party among his friends, and also walks towards the cantina alone. As he eventually can spot the cantina across an open field, Pete also sees Harry charging toward him with a layoff in his hand, quickly wanting to kill him with it.
Pete ever runs and rolls down the pitch to the field and barges into the cantina to save himself from his bushwhacker, only to realize that this too had been another practical joke by his friends, who had left beforehand to embellish the cantina and also told Harry to act out this shenanigan just for laughs. After some time spent at the cantina, the group of friends drives down to a field where George and Archie have prepared a raspberry-stalking session for Pete, who gets unpleasantly surprised by it. Although George says that Pete has hunted them formerly ahead, the friend denies ever having done such a thing and claims that he doesn't want to hurt creatures just for entertainment. Pete sticks to his claim for the utmost of the while, until he feels a kind of peer pressure and fires at one raspberry but misses killing it, utmost presumably unintentionally. An analogous change of principles was before seen in the cantina as well, when Pete denied taking cocaine at first, only to be induced by Archie. When the man did wheeze the medicine, however, he voided utmost of the small bag holding it, much to his wrathfulness of Archie.
Late that night, the friends prepare a surprise performance for Pete, and they all sit around a pedestal or stage- suchlike a setup. Harry seems to conduct the event, funnily dressed with a plastic bag on his head, and eventually, the show starts — the friends have made a youthful man dress up like Pete and talk trash about him in a repast- comedy kind of manner. Fake Pete, as he's called by his friends, gradationally paints a harsh but true picture of Pete’s character, who's always eager to boast about his charity work and about how he has changed from his council days to fit in further with his new, refined gal, Sonia. Towards the end of the performance, the impersonator and all his friends encourage Pete to reveal whom he thinks Harry is, for he'd before told some of the friends tête-à-tête that he allowed
Harry was someone he knew from ahead. unfit to hold it in any longer, Pete reveals a dark secret he has been keeping in his heart since his teenage times — there used to be a neighbor of his, a little girl, who had some internal disease and was spooked by tykes. Pete and a friend of his would regularly prank call this girl and make canine noises over the phone until one day; she suffocated herself to death with a plastic bag. Although there was no consequence to the incident on Pete, the girl’s elder family always held him responsible, and Pete claims that the same family is now back to exact vengeance, as he's Harry.
still, while all the friends sit in shock and unbelief, Harry says that he has no idea whom Pete is talking about, and rather reveals that he's Plank, an old friend from the council. He also says that the canine barks used in the performance were to remind everyone of a stupid incident from the council where Pete made Plank kiss a canine; the plastic bag over his head is to denote the bag of cocaine that Pete finished off some hours back, and the picture of the youthful girl on Plank’s phone is that of Plank’s son. Pete tries talking about all the times his friends had turned against him during this weekend, but all his beliefs are debunked one after the other — his capsules hadn't been changed by Harry, but by Archie only as a practical joke; Pete had earlier claimed that his friends used to call him Skippy, as in the commander or captain of all parties, but none of the friends flashed back such a name or personality for Pete; nothing had told Claire of his want to propose to Sonia, but the woman had herself guessed it from how happy Pete was in life. Sonia not only gets to hear of a possible offer in the worst kind of manner but she now also questions why Pete was spooked to let Claire know about it, intimating that Pete himself hadn't gotten over Claire.
Eventually, George calmly says that it has not been Harry or the friends who have ruined the weekend, but it has been Pete himself, who has throughout suspected his friends of conniving a conspiracy plan against him, which simply wasn't true. It was Pete who had changed and had indeed not watched to try and be in touch with his friends; the man doesn't indeed know what his musketeers do as he says that George and Fig work in finance and Sonia corrects him that they exercise commercial law. Pete breaks down and is still in rather unbelief when Plank tries to lighten the mood by cracking another joke, but Pete can take it no longer. He picks up a cosmetic vase and hurls it at Plank with an obnoxious ethnical slur; the vase hits Plank’s head, and he incontinently falls to the ground.
‘ All My Friends detest Me ’ Ending Explained What Happens To Pete And Sonia’s Relationship?
As the scene fades to black at the ruined birthday party after Pete’s conduct, Sonia and Pete are coming seen driving back on the trace the following day. At first, Pete tries to nonchalantly complain of a bad leftover, but when Sonia doesn't respond, he soon addresses the engagement plan. He apologizes to her for the way it was revealed to her and also admits that he'd understand if Sonia rejected him after all that happened at the party. He asks her if she'd still want to be with him, to which Sonia snappily and coldly replies, “ no. ” Pete tries to agree and justify this decision and breaks down in gashes, only for Sonia to reveal that she was just joking. She exclaims that she does want to be with Pete and marry him, and also says that the only problem with Pete is that he just doesn't know how to take a joke.

There are moments in the film that make Pete paranoid. Although “ All My Friends detest Me ” doesn't feel to have too important caching beneath its face, what works for the film is the general discomfort that it successfully brings out at times. It's the cringy, unprofitable attempts of musketeers trying to go back to their history indeed though they've majorly changed over the times that makes the film at least good of watching.
