Synopsis

Two couples meet – middle class, comfort, safety, around 30. They like each other. They feel attracted to each other. They get involved. The split passion becomes an addiction, they lose themselves completely and then fight fiercely in order to escape from chaos. Is it possible to have new sexual experiences without committing adultery? Can desire survive the routine? Can one have it all? And when the limits of the so-called normal families and relationships start to break, how do you find yourself within it all? –São Paulo International Film Festival

Love is weird !

A vigorously optimistic film about sexual relationships and the research of the identity of love- Like an accompaniment to Eric Rohmer's 'Comedies et Proverbs'. The ending though is contradictory to the rest of the film- are the protagonists punished for their unlawful actions after all that's been beautifully said about swingers ?
