Chris and Gitti are a happy couple on the surface, but when they meet a happier, more successful couple on vacation, their fragile relationship starts to fall apart.
On the surface, architect Chris and his girlfriend Gitti seem to enjoy perfect, amorous bliss during a getaway on their Sardinia vacation. But their playful romps, secret rituals, and silly habits hide an underlying tension. The two are actually polar opposites. Full of verve, the idiosyncratic Gitti is fearless in expressing her love and devotion for Chris, while he is more reserved in his outlook on life and crippled by varying degrees of personal and professional insecurity. When this odd couple casually meets a happier and more successful couple, everything starts to fall apart. Taking a leaf out of the other couple’s book, Chris tries to show his willful girlfriend who’s boss (he thinks it’s him). Gitti attempts to conform to his new ideal, but what begins as a playful experiment soon turns into a quiet struggle with her own personality. Thanks to their newly developed personas, Chris and Gitti get a second chance to be as happy as everyone else.
