In this film he has a son with one woman and is married to another beautiful woman and has two girls with her. Things all seem well, they go back to that famous island on Greece for a holiday and then I guess that honesty just overcomes everything else and can often be the cause of many problems, or at least, can be the reason that they come to life. One minute they are all set to have sex and within a grand total of two minutes they are having an argument over their children. It seems weird but I guess that when you start to take on more responsibility and your children get older things in your life change and what this film manages to do really well is show how things can change but how you can keep things going and work through your problems.
She walks out of the hotel room several times and he is quite calm. just gently reminding her that she may need certain things when she leaves: 'you forget your shoes' and then she comes back several times before allowing him to come and find her and talk about it all. What is captured fantastically well is how each person responds and feels in that situation. Everything that they said was true but Ethan Hawke had the line that summed it all up- you're not perfect and you can be irritating but I accept you and love you for who you are. It can be hard for us to allow someone else to love us for who we are and it is much easier to push them away but no matter how many problems we create and reasons we give them to leave us they aren't going to because we love each other and we're not happy without each other. Sorry if that sounds a bit pathetic but that's the truth of it and this film shows that very clearly. Yes it's just a film but it was someone's idea brought to life by the actors in the film.
