| dbp:shortsummary | The adulterous member of the domestic couple contemplates the termination of their domestic partnership while the other member of the domestic couple contemplates the possibility that their partner is involved in an adulterous affair. (en) The film starts with Stéphane Paquette and Patricia Tedford, who play a domestic couple, and Pandora Topp, who plays Patricia's best friend. At a house party, Pandora 's character discreetly propositions Stéphane's character. Each character is named "Alex." (en) Stormy weather while on a solo vacation in the Caribbean forces Alex indoors where he examines his former home via Google Street View and ponders his former married life; living alone in her new condo, Alex reflects on her failed marriage during an extra snowy winter; while in bed with someone not unlike herself, Alex discusses the incongruous nature of marriage; Alex remembers all that was said, "Told me love was too plebeian. Told me you were through with me and..." (en) The affair may or may not be over while Alex may or may not be engaging in "Triangulation (psychology)," wherein someone plays two others against each other. (en) Each of the three characters named Alex shares a personal experience wherein they were "the other man." (en) In this concluding chapter, variations of Alex attend a wedding reception that is also attended by variations of their former best friend Alex, and variations of their former illicit lover Alex. (en) This chapter concerns a difficult moment between a parent and child; a theatricalized reflection on a relationship now soured; Alex on the verge of a nervous breakdown; and a nightmare. (en) The treatment of time is ambiguous as this chapter begins with what may be Alex reflecting on past incidents, including: a sequence that may be the last meeting of the adulterous couple; a scene wherein Alex leaves a nasty voicemail intending to end the adulterous affair; a probably non-real confrontation scene in a theatrical theatre; for reasons unknown, Alex performs a Spanish-language version of Pablo Neruda's poem Tonight I Can Write into a laptop; Alex threatens to expose their affair. (en) An affair commences. The adulterous couple discuss the idea that we only present specific versions of ourselves to each other, and that, were it possible for us to access these versions of ourselves, would we recognize ourselves. The domestic couple has a playful discussion regarding each member's potential unfaithfulness to the other (en) |
