When they were teenagers, Iris and Alex went to see the sexy French New Wave classic ‘Breathless' and fell in love. But life had other plans. Twenty years later, Iris is married to workaholic doctor Geoff, stressed out by motherhood and caring for her dying, self-centred film critic father, Max. Tonight she has scheduled a screening of 'Breathless' at the rundown Paradise Theatre in Max's honour, and on a whim invites Alex. But when Alex shows up with his fiancée Anthea, Iris' world is turned upside down and the two ex-lovers spend the evening contemplating the past and plotting a future together.
