Plot summary
The inherently flawed chameleon Chris Black, 28, throws a party at his inner-city Melbourne apartment for people who have been prominent players in his life. But the guests arrive to a strange scenario - their host isn't even there. To break the ice, guests discuss topics of conversation ranging from the intellectual and political, to some sexual in nature, and many that are just mind-numbingly mundane. But almost every interaction results in one question, "how do you know Chris?"

The script is HDYKC is a combination of character that interact with each other during a party.
That's it.
There is a very very barebones story of the titular Chris himself not being at the party, and further in the film there is a pathetic attempt to introduce a bit of mystery. Pathetic because the initial concept of the film is to have normal, down to earth characters with realistic interactions, and the "mystery" isn't a mystery for, you know, human beings.
Oh heck, yes, let me spoil it for you. The BIG mystery is that Chris
"is known as Frankie to some people".
Yep. Yes that's the mystery.
Well, this film isn't too far off from what The Man From Earth is, but TMFH has a hook, which this film doesn't. It has the one element which sets it aside (an unusual protagonist) from what otherwise would be just a party, and HDYKC is just that, it's just a party. Yeah ok there may be a bit of drama, but, have you ever been to a party? Drugs and implications of gay sex don't really make enough plot nowadays, maybe during the Black&White era, but i expect more out of a modern film.
Not recommended.
