Plot

The story focuses on a young couple, Gilles and Marion in their 30's, filmed in five crucial moments of their life together: the meeting, marriage, birth of their first child, arguments and divorce. However, those are told in reverse order. Each moment is separated by an Italian song with evocative lyrics. Overall, it is a pessimistic life lesson about the difficulties of living as a couple.
