About the Film
Ben and Suzanne are delighted to finally see each other again and rekindle their relationship. He’s flown all the way to Sri Lanka, where she’s working for an NGO. But it doesn’t take long for problems to arise. The couple have grown apart, and intimacy is out of the question, as Suzanne’s job makes too many demands of her. Do the two of them still have a chance? A tragicomic portrait of a troubled relationship.
