Manuel and Allison, the odd couple run out of breath preparing for the last leg of their journey, stuck in a battle of coercion and control. Michael and Josie, the two survivors in search of new possibilities, lost in an ocean of boredom and disillusion. Jonas and Silvie, the couple close to be stepping into the zone of no return in their relationship, protagonists of a story built on thin poles and just about to crumble. Ross and Kathy, the successful couple structured and carefully assembled piece-by-piece, who have planned their life together, at each step, with no room for the "unexpected". Liam, the happy gigolo by birth and single by definition, cruising through life, like a speeding luxury yacht.
