The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter the concert, Sally and Michael head home. She knocks Mahler, the Alfredo sauce, even her yawn — she is only hyper-oxygenating. Back at the house he leans in. She hits the brakes: she cannot go so fast; metabolically, it is not her rhythm. Then the story turns. Her marriage was dead for years. Jack was supposed to be in Chicago. And then, by sheer accident...
