Anna (Rebecca Hall) and Will (Dan Stevens), were each other’s first every-things: first kiss, first love, first and only relationship. Now, 10 years in, at Anna’s 30th birthday party, as Will is about to propose, the couple’s best friend makes a drunken toast, suggesting that they should sleep around before their inevitable marriage. The joke lands like a lead balloon, but the thought lingers until Anna proposes that they try opening their relationship – as a sexual experiment. Together, they venture out of the purely monogamous boundaries of their relationship and, along the way, evolve.

This is a story about the difference between societal expectations of what your happiness should be and true happiness and how as we grow our wants and goals change.Beautiful cinematography and a refreshing script. You fall for each character and their individual wants so by the end you feel conflicted as to who you truly are "rooting" for. It also shows that you may compromise in a relationship but how far are you willing to sacrifice your happiness for the happiness of your partner. Both couples show that struggle. It was a delight to watch.

Hidden and insightful gem. Great characters.

Great touching story
