Days after April and Frank had and argument on the roadside, April was looking at some pictures of her and her husband, and she realized how much passion they had for life and each other. Being nostalgic, April proposed to Frank to move to Paris where she would work as a government secretary to support Frank, enabling him to ponder about what he truly wants out life. However, after Frank accepted His wife's proposal, he was offered a promotion with a substantial pay increase, which ignited a wave of conflict.

An absolute delight with audacious dialogue that demanded an emotional response, this film was mainly carried by bold and fearless writing. The script was tasty, for it described the acerbic tension that can exists between married couples. The script was honest, and non euphemistic. And the acting delivered that rawness excellently. According to metacritic.com the film received generally good reviews, and rottentomatoes.com granted the film 98 fresh tomatoes to 48 rotten ones. Good stuff. A-/ B+.
