After almost 40 years of marriage and a shared life with children and grandchildren, they decide to split up. They arrange their divorce in the mediator's consulting room. They discuss the cause of their breakup, disconnect emotionally from each other, divide the estate, and eventually sign their divorce settlement.

Still, there is a fierce, independent spirit that lies inside her, waiting to be liberated. Assured direction coaxes flawless, seamlessly connected performances from actresses Tanya Zabarylo and Olivia Landuyt in the title role as a young woman and young girl respectively.
