Synopsis
A young couple are celebrating their first wedding anniversary. They give each other small presents, drink a bottle of champagne together, show off their wedding bands and enjoy memories reminisce about their relationship. Accompanied by Frida Selander's expressive music, they face questions on maternal arguments, conflicts with other young people, their plans on having a family and their everyday life "in the them". Director and cinematographer Olga Popova approaches two young people, whose life together is, after all, not quite average, let alone accepted, in a minimalist and strictly documentary style featuring a handheld camera and b/w-images.
