Successful businesswoman Mira's (Jessica Chastain) marriage to the accommodating and intellectual philosophy professor Jonathan (Oscar Isaac) seems perfect even after ten years. Until Mira makes her husband understand how unhappy she really is. Over five years we now witness the "scenes of a marriage" that is inevitably heading for its dissolution. 

Nearly 50 years after Swedish master director Ingmar Bergmann triggered a veritable divorce boom with his cinematic template, Israeli series creator Hagai Levi ("In Treatment," "The Affair") now takes on the material as a true master of dysfunctional relationships. Instead of Liv Ullman and Erland Josephson, "Golden Globe" winners Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac embody the couple stumbling through an increasingly demoralizing relationship. Levi succeeds in carefully modernizing the material and adapting it to the changed role and gender images of our time.
