SYNOPSIS

Lilli and Mark on the day of their 10-year marriage anniversary celebration unexpectedly face with a crucial reexamination – instead of a pure love between them (and between the other couples who are their guests) appears mistrust, sadness, joy, passion, melancholy, revolt, hate, love, fear….. And the eternal dilemma of – What is this happening to us? Is that us ten years ago?

Through interaction with their friends they reveal the male – female relations as they are: primeval but contemporary. Trough the series of 20 pictures which are blending from one to another we recognize their emotional dilemmas and we also reveal the crashing point of one’s marriage. Mirrors as quiet and inconspicuous witnesses of emotional conditions vehemently reveal the parallel marriage, the one that Lilli, Mark and their friends have never observed, convinced that the everyday life has not changed at all during the past years. In those fourteen hours of reexamination, we can see the tragedy of male – female marital relationship. Although the actors fight through the storm, love wins it all at the end!

At the last scene Lilli and Mark are alone again, tired of their love dance, but happy that the day of celebration was just an episode filled with reexaminations that bring them successfully back on the path of love and happiness.
