Beautiful scenes, acting, great plot and musical score.
Silly little detours like the kids becoming sick, the son buying a snake and the daughter fancying an older lover, empathize how the parent's behavior reflect on their offspring.
Twenty years ago the parents fell deeply in love but were basically kids themselves. In their marriage they both sway to temptations. No wonder really, seeing that the protagonist's mother has her own fling on the side which caused deep animosity from the daughter. "Are you really telling me we're the same?" she exclaims in disgust.
Now husband and wife have to face the music. Divorce - or have they matured enough to forgive, carry responsibility and save their marriage, children and dreams?
Notable quote: "Like Brahms piano music, at the same time tender yet hard, like parenting."

A bit mushy sometimes but close to real life
A master piece you have chance to miss !!!
Just a few people wrote on this magnificent film. As a well educated philosopher I can only say about this film. I already said I guess. Magnficant. You want to hear from Baudlierre or From Aragon just in the case of a scene. You want cinematography. Different but soft underlying glorious lyric film. About love & life. This is it. This is the glorious film which manifests the beauty of cinema. And the grabbing of the cinema the hands of life. The setting is great. The story is great. The Music is fabulous. Characters are enormous, perfectly acted. That is a film I wanted to last for 9 hours. This film also gives you that feeling as well. A perfect master piece. Why did so few people commented on that. Find it watch it.
