After being married for fifteen years, Valeria and Nicola decide to amicably divorce. They are no longer in love, and it’s better to end it now, then to end up as two friends sitting on the couch watching mindless tv. They’re in agreement on all terms, however, just when they’re about to tell the children, they both receive a career opportunity of a lifetime to work and live abroad. Valeria is ready to give up this chance, but when she finds out Nicola has had an affair with a beautiful young nurse, she accepts the new job abroad.
