A marriage in ten sessions by Nick Hornby / German by Ingo Herzke

When one cheats (Louise), the other may move out (Tom). But if there are children involved (in this case two), the story is not over. The remedy of choice today is couples therapy. Louise and Tom meet in a pub every week to get in the mood for the upcoming session. Despite everything, they agree on three things: the other is to blame, they don't want to break up and no crisis can be so bad that they miss the opportunity to get back at the other with a pointed remark.
With his special flair for sympathetic anti-heroes, Nick Hornby shows us the funny and touching sides of a marital crisis based on a completely normal married couple.
