What they share is almost only the feeling of getting the worst out of each other: After fifty years of marriage, Vigo travels to India without his wife Terese. She follows him, full of anger and doubt. In the foreign country it becomes clear: it's all about the whole thing. When Terese turns away, Vigo begins to write - told from his wife's point of view, their entire history together.
