Close-Ups of a Woman Moving Away
How does a man court his own wife?
They’ve been married for fifty years. Then he leaves for India. She travels after him, worried and angry. The only thing Vigo and Terese still have in common is the feeling that they bring out the worst in each other. Should they really grow old together? Suddenly, there’s no more avoiding the question. Stay or go? In India, Terese decides it’s time to leave Vigo. When he begs for one last chance, she replies, »What can you do to get me back? Stop making it all about you. Just for once in your life.«
