Two ex-lovers, Lina, a Norwegian dancer, and Anderson, an American filmmaker, meet by chance during a visit to Berlin, their affair is rekindled in spite of the fact that they are both moving to opposite ends of the earth in forty-eight hours. Meanwhile Anderson is crashing with his friends, Stephen and Fiederike, who toy with their sexual boundaries of their long term relationship.
Anderson is a struggling (translation: broke) Los Angeles based filmmaker, he not having completed a movie in ten years. His latest project - a high concept sci-fi movie - is a make or break for his life, another failure meaning that he is probably done in the business. He decides to follow the advice of his agent Sam and takes a business meeting at his own expense with Jason Ritter to discuss him possibly starring in the picture. The meeting is in Berlin, where Anderson lived temporarily three years ago when he met who he still considers the love of his life, Lina, a Norwegian dancer. Then, they spent a memorable six week vacation in Montenegro, at the end of which she broke up with him via a Dear John note, she implying in the note that it being a less painful way for the inevitable goodbye. Despite his attempts to contact her, he has never seen or heard from her since, and has never returned to Berlin until now. Despite trolling his and Lina's old haunts in Berlin, Anderson does not expect to see her, not even knowing if she is still in the city anyway. So it is to his amazement that he does run into her, she who has lived the entire intervening time there, but who will be moving to Budapest in two days to go to school. The two have to decide what to do with them as a couple, with the maturity of three years since their relationship, and Anderson's knowledge of what happened factoring into the equation. But what also factors into the equation is both their individual futures as they see them, and the reason why Lina broke up with him three years ago, which may be not all it seemed in that Dear John note. Meanwhile, seven year couple Stephen and Friederike, Anderson's friends with who he is staying in Berlin, are at a crossroads in their relationship, where two options have been placed on the table to deal with their issues: to expand their relationship to a third or possibly even fourth, going to a sex party the method to find those people, or to have a baby. With what they are going through, there is a possible third option which they have not openly discussed, namely breaking up.—Huggo
