Several characters and their personal dramas. A woman who works as a counsellor to ex-convicts is herself married to one; he is having trouble straightening out his life and they decide to spend some time apart from each other. A convicted child rapist is released from prison and decides to pay a visit to his sons. His wife has moved with them to a different city and is now starting a relationship with another man.
I thought the individual scenes were well handled, and the performances were faultless. However, the tone is weirdly inconsistent, the satirical sarcasm expressed by the dialogue completely clashing with the lyricism evoked by some visual or musical set-ups. Ultimately, though, that is not what kills the movie, even though some of the satire is a bit sophomoric. The bottom line is that there is just not enough substance here to make a good film; at best it would do as a sitcom pilot.
