In the Dalí & Beyond Film Series, films by and about women are showcased as part of the summer exhibition, Women: Dalí’s View. Carmen, a journalist with two children, is on her third marriage, to Antonio, a record producer. Over the course of a year, the film chronicles her discontents: Antonio's fatigue when she wants to make love, his insistence on her company when she prefers solitude, his treating her work as less important than his, his casual and cruel dismissal of her opinions and her passage into middle age. She can be feisty and edgy, which sometimes gets in the way of what would make her happy.
