synopsis
Dino and Anna are a couple in their forties. Their relationship is hardly conventional: in fact, it is unconsummated. Dino gets out of it, gratifying himself with prostitutes and swingers. He reaches his nadir when he looks up Annas old boyfriends to ask about their sexual relations with her, and even begs them to take her back, as a way to end their relationship. Anna cant find a way out herself; she cant bring herself to end this one-of-a-kind, tormented love affair. In the end, Dinos angst is what makes her feel loved, feel unique. No solution seems to be waiting in the wings.
