As young French couple Gilles and Marion officially separate, we see, in reverse order, five milestone moments in their relationship: their divorce, a tense dinner with friends, the birth of their child, their joyous wedding, and their first encounter.

By distilling the essential fragments of a relationship and putting them side by side, François Ozon delivers a chronicle presenting the destructive and cruel effects that time can have on our most noble feelings. A heartfelt observation of a couple’s odyssey, simultaneously unique and universal.
