Marriage Story

Abstract

The divorce process of a couple with a child who pursues their professional careers in distant cities (Los Angeles and New York) is addressed. The peculiarity of this family is that it belongs to the scenic world: Charlie, the father, is a theater director and Nicole, the mother, is an actress. For the rest, there is evidence of a nuclear family model with a father, a mother and a son; a context that will undoubtedly help viewers to connect with the plot.

It is the story of a deep disagreement between the couple that ends in divorce, despite the various signs of affection that we appreciate throughout the entire film. Likewise, there are small frictions and heated discussions out of tune. However, this experience moves away from any violent act and seeks a balance between the voices of the characters and the harshness of the split.

Henry is the eight-year-old son of the marriage who will experience the divorce process of his parents closely; Little by little, he will understand that his relationship with them will change forever and the love they profess for him will consolidate the respect and affection between them.
