On the surface, Chris and Gitti are lost in perfect amorous bliss during their getaway at their Sardinia vacation home. In reality, the two are polar opposites; the confrontation with another couple leads to a turning point in their playful romps, secret rituals and silly habits… A subtly humorous, cruelly meticulous study of the contradictory desires of a couple searching for their own identity.“I’m very interested in characters. First there was Gitti, an extreme woman, and on the other side a defensive man. I was thinking about their relationship, their fears, and their longings. After a while the story came out of it, this story of a power struggle, then a power shift”, – says Maren Ade.
