Marriages

MARRIAGES interweaves past and present marriages, liasons and friendships to draw friends, relations, husbands and wives, parents and children, mistresses and lovers into one another's emotional orbits just as daily life does. A man and his wife. The man and his wife's sister. The man and the woman. The woman and the hitchhicker. The sister and her husband. The sister and her lovers. The sisters lovers and their lovers. MARRIAGES is bittersweet and ironic, a truly contemporary love story about the satisfactions and dissatisfactions of married love, the illusions and delusions of romance and the special knowledge that only adultery can teach.
