Danielle and Alex have decided to get divorced after twenty-two years of marriage. From deeply in love to splitting time with their kids, the couple reflects on the feelings that were lost and a path toward the future. Switching between time in their family home and sitting with their individual experiences in a shared nesting apartment, they begin to date and rediscover themselves. When a family tragedy forces them together, both have to reconcile the love that was once there and the feelings that remain.
