Valentine and Alex are married, both lawyers, specializing in family matters. In the exercise of their profession, they defend the divorce of the XXIst century: amicable, in the serenity and the respect of the other, preferably in alternating custody and in the blended family, far from the cased vases and the atrocious scenes of household of the previous generation. Until the day when, because of a banal adultery, their couple shatters. And the reality of the divorce catches up with them: no more fine words, just war.
