A caustic, verbally explosive portrait of a dysfunctional couple's breakup, balancing dark humor with genuine emotional turbulence.

A day in the life of a couple trapped in a sadomasochistic relationship. When Marie decides to break up with Bruce, their conversation devolves into a torrent of foul-mouthed rippings and ferociously humorous musings on their marriage, love, hate and committment.
