On SundanceTV
A deadpan, intimate portrait of a marriage in crisis, told through brief pub conversations that gradually reveal how two people fell in love and fell apart.
Tom and Louise meet in a pub immediately before their weekly marital therapy session. With each successive episode we piece together how their lives were, what drew them together and what has started to pull them apart.
