Drama from French directer François Ozon. The film shows five scenes from a modern marriage in reverse order from its disintegration to its genesis. It provides an insight into an ordinary middle-class relationship: that of Marion (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) and Gilles (Stéphane Freiss). First, the divorce proceedings, then an unhappy dinner party, the birth of the couple's only son, the wedding and finally the first meeting.
The failing marriage of a young couple is placed under the microscope. Following the couple's decision to file for divorce, five flashbacks profile varying periods of their relationship.
