Mary (Isabella Rossellini) and Adam (William Hurt) have been married for over thirty years; they have
spent more than half their lives together. It seems as though Adam and Mary have enjoyed and endured all of life’s ups and downs, but gradually, certain irritations begin to creep into their lives and both are obliged to acknowledge that the years are now taking their toll. Their children have also noticed their parents’ problems and would dearly like to repair their marriage but soon realize that any intervention from afar is fruitless. A quiet study of keeping a marriage fresh and gracefully growing old together.


Produced by Bertrand Faivre and Sylvie Pialat.  Director of Photography: Nathalie Durand.  Studio Spotlight Premiere from Olive Films.
