Marion and Gilles, a fortysomething couple, go to a hotel to make love one last time after signing their divorce papers. Then their story begins to be narrated in reverse, focusing on five major turning points in their five-year-long relationship. The film – whose lead actress Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi won the Pasinetti Award for Best Actress at the 2004 Venice Film Festival – is a compelling cinematic look at the marriage of two people who never manage to want the same thing at the same time.
