Synopsis

On the surface, Chris and Gitti are lost in perfect amorous bliss during their getaway in Sardinia. But amidst their playful romps, secret rituals and silly habits belies an underlying tension. Full of verve, the idiosyncratic Gitti is fearless in expressing her love for Chris, while Chris is more reserved in his outlook on life and sports varying personal and professional degrees of insecurity. When they casually run into another, obviously happier and more successful, couple that on top of it all appears to be modern gender role proof, their relationship destabilizes. Chris begins to show his girlfriend who is boss, with the result that Gitti´s faith in her partner takes a hard knock. She attempts to conform to his new ideal, but what begins as a playful experiment soon turns into a quiet struggle with her own personality.
While Chris flourishes in his role as the stronger one of the two, Gitti begins to loosen up in a completely new way. With their newly developed personas, Chris and Gitti get a second chance to discover themselves and each other...

Director's comment

“I wanted to make a film about the convoluted yet unique entity that is represented by two people in a relationship. The main character of the film is not so much an individual as a couple.”
