Johan and Marianne are trapped by the ironies of their life together. Marianne is a divorce lawyer who cannot acknowledge she is unhappy in her marriage. She is frustrated by the conventional expectations of Sunday lunch with her parents but not by the conventions imposed on her by Johan. She thinks their friends who are divorcing have problems because they do not communicate, but she is unable to tell Johan or herself what she really wants or how she feels. She mistakes doing the washing up together for partnership.
