Synopsis: | Jim and Franny have been married for 12 years and are "perfectly suited" to one another. Jim is the "pragmatic one", Franny the "spontaneous one". They are each other's lives and identities. But when they wake up in the middle of the night having mysteriously fallen out of love, they panic. Terrified by the prospect of life outside of their marriage, they spend the rest of the night trying to fall back in love. Unfortunately, the more they try to remember who they are as a couple, the more lost they become as people. And in the end, they must figure out if what they have is love, need or just routine. And, ultimately, if there is even a difference. | |||||
