For the last 50 years, André and Madeleine have enjoyed the pleasures and unpredictable nature of marriage. But as they prepare for their daughters’ visit one weekend, troubling events threaten to call their lifelong bond into question.

Amazing story that keeps you engaged all the time, confused and trying to figure things out as the characters in the play.

It was a beautiful show, very well acted. I read coming in that it can be confusing, so I just accepted that... You don't totally know the whole story, and that's the point. Lovely.
