Lars and Susanna have been married for twenty years. They love each other dearly and together they have created a secure, happy existence with well-paid jobs, a large house, two cars and a daughter who is about to move away from home.
Life has turned out just as happily and comfortably for Susanna’s best friend Ann and her husband Ulf, who will also shortly be celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary.
One evening when the two couples are having dinner together, Susanna tells the others about an adulterous colleague. The story provokes strong reactions that cause a dramatic showdown among the two couples – and turns their lives and marriages upside down.

The Bottom Line:
A masterclass in filmmaking from director Simon Staho and featuring some of the finest Scandinavian acting talent, all in fantastic form. Two couples madly in love, celebrating a 20th wedding anniversary, open up to each other about fidelity and love. What could possibly go wrong?
Beautifully shot, brilliantly scripted story of love and fidelity; flawless direction puts the focus on the actors and allows them to shine. Clever, sophisticated grown up film.
