C’est si simple l’amour

Opening night in Stockholm. Alma and Robert, an on-stage and off-stage couple, play the lead roles. The show marks Alma's comeback. The evening continues at home, in the company of Hedda, an actress on the sidelines, and her husband Jonas, a psychologist. Alcohol loosens tongues: instead of resolving their differences, Alma and Robert deepen the rift between them, in front of Hedda and Jonas. Reproaches abound, especially about infidelity, and no one emerges unscathed. The evening becomes an unpacking of frustrations, between professional failures and unfulfilled desires. Lars Norén, one of the twentieth century's greatest playwrights, blends drama and humor in this intense, behind-the-scenes story, where cruelty hides a burst of laughter.
