An actress researches with the housewife she is playing who married an underage pet shop colleague 20 years before, but the subsequent delving reveals the relationship is still far from untroubled.
The director pays semi-homage to The Go-Between, both in its opening titles and music, where "the past is a foreign country", and this interesting but slightly flawed black comedy plays on some of that, with other quirky elements and sub-plots that are not resolved, but the performances are sensitive enough and add that extra level of maturity.
