2004100 min6.2 / 10

A meta-theatrical dual narrative that uses the same messy romantic and personal crisis to explore how perspective and framing determine whether life reads as comedy or tragedy.

While dining out with friends, Sy suggests the difficulty of separating comedy from tragedy. To illustrate his point, he tells his guests two parallel stories about Melinda ; both versions have the same basic elements, but one take on her state of affairs leans toward levity, while the other is full of anguish. Each story involves Melinda coping with a recent divorce through substance abuse while beginning a romantic relationship with a close friend's husband.
