After 15 years together, Ale and Alex have an idea that might seem absurd: to organize a party to celebrate their breakup. This announcement leaves their loved ones perplexed, but they remain firm in their decision to separate. Or maybe not?

My review · Reviewed 01/17/2025

We find out at the beginning of the movie that a couple has agreed to a divorce. We don't know why they want to divorce, but they are both rather nonchalant about the whole thing. And that kind of sets the tone for the entire movie - it takes it own sweet time to get where it is going. The movie-within-a movie added an interesting sub-theme to the movie.
