Synopsis

Although John and Mer have worked to create the ideal liberated relationship (and even love each other), they are growing apart.

Then John arrives at Mer's apartment unannounced, late at night and in the middle of a snowstorm with a solution.

She mistakes his suggestion of a weekend in the country for a marriage proposal, forcing her to consider the wedding she both wants and fears.

This gentle satire, a comedy of errors, explores their confusion over what love, marriage and commitment mean today.
