When people fall out of love, where does that love go?
A woman wants to leave her husband. Aft er many, many years of marriage and many, many years of living together, she is determined – but also devastated. How did it come to this? While considering her next move, she takes a trip down memory lane. There were indeed many highs: the early, ecstatic days of love at university, the times they spent abroad, and later their years with their young children. But there were also lows, moments that changed the course of their lives. Moments that foreshadowed failure. But can something that went on for so long really be said to have failed?
