“Here is a picture that was marked for greatness before it was ever screened!”

DramaRomance

A retired auto manufacturer and his wife take a long-planned European vacation only to find that they want very different things from life.

VIBE

A sharp, witty, and deeply melancholic look at a marriage unraveling amidst the glamour of a European tour. It feels like a sophisticated, adult drama exploring the quiet desperation of unfulfilled lives and the painful realization of drifting apart.
