This film traces a couple’s first steps into polyamory. After sixteen years together and raising two children, they decide to open their relationship. Over several months, we follow their experiments with different forms of non-monogamy, told across six chapters. As new relationships emerge, their long-standing bond begins to shift, exposing tensions, desires, and doubts. The film observes how love changes under pressure, and whether what they have built can survive this transformation.
